At the start of every school year, we require all employees to attend a child safeguarding workshop and to take an online refresher course. As you can see from the photo above, we held an introduction to our child safeguarding and protection program. We covered the basics, like who are the Designated Safeguarding Leaders, how to make a report, among other major aspects of what we do. We also introduced our new online reporting system. TIS is using cPOMS to help us organize our documentation and to make it easier for people to make reports. This week we will be spending some more time learning the software.
I completed the TES Develop Child Protection Refresher course during Teacher Work Week. Above is the final checklist as a summary of the course. It is a very good reminder that keeping our students safe so they can develop to their potential is our first job. All children deserve a good start in life. Educators have a special role in giving children that good start.
