SafeguardED

SEND DSL Forum

Meeting each half term, this forum is for any DSL who works with SEND pupils either in specialist or mainstream education provision. It offers an opportunity for DSLs to come together, discuss challenges relating to safeguarding children with SEND, share good practice and solutions and offer peer support.

Each meeting of the SEND DSL Forum will have a theme so that colleagues can decide if they wish to attend or not.

And the best bit? It's completely free!
