Vikkey Chaffe,DBS Checks
Carl posted a discussion in Safeguarding Staff Room,
Just wondering if there is guidance regarding how often DBS checks are required to be completed?
My understanding was that there was no requirement to update unless there was a significant change in role within the school or position - however our Safeguarding Governor came in for a visit and stated that she thought this should be completed every three years?
Are there any set 'rules' or 'expectations' for this - or is there just guidance?
Thanks for any help and advice!
Carl

Vikkey Chaffe,Wear Red Day
Vikkey Chaffe posted an event in Company Calendar,
We’ve decided to support our new partners by doing just that.
So, on Friday 21st please get involved and send me a photo of you wearing red. We want to make a collage out of the images we get of you all in red and share that on social media to show our support, spread awareness and encourage others to get involved too.
However, we know that not many people go into the office on Friday’s, so for those of you planning on being in the office on Thursday, we encourage you to wear red and take your pictures then, as we would love some group photo’s as well as some gorgeous selfies 😊
If you also wish to show your support by making a donation, you can text these numbers to do so.

Vikkey Chaffe,Showing a professional interest in pupils
Helen R posted a discussion in Safeguarding Staff Room,
One of the senior school teachers in my team is looking to hold a staff workshop around the theme of 'showing a professional interest' in pupils. This is something that has come up strongly in KCSiE this year. One thing we find is that secondary teachers often think they don't have much time for relationship development when they only see a pupil for one subject a couple of times a week. I was wondering if anyone has any useful resources (articles, role plays, film clips etc) about exploring this idea? There is already an article that i have found on the Safeguarding Company website. Is there anything else relevant? Thanks in advance for any input. Best wishes, Helen

Vikkey Chaffe,Important document for DSL's on school attendance!
Luke Ramsden posted a discussion in Safeguarding Staff Room,
Working together to improve school attendance (publishing.service.gov.uk)
There is nothing totally revolutionary but quite a lot of clarification about how schools need to work with students and families with poor attendance so it is likely school attendance policies will need amending.

Vikkey Chaffe,Omegle App
Vikkey Chaffe posted a discussion in Safeguarding Staff Room,
A number of students have brought to our attention a website/app that could potentially be misused by young people, which we thought would be useful to share with you. Omegle is a social networking site that randomly connects you to another person who is on the site. It lets you talk to them in a one-to-one audio or video conversation. You can both appear as anonymous, unless you decide to share your personal information. It is the anonymity that causes us concern and the potential to view possibly sexual content and connect with people all over the world in a potentially risky manner. We feel that this website/app could potentially lead to students being groomed online.
