School Governors and Safeguarding

This page is for school Governors, specifically for any Governors with a lead on anti-bullying issues.

Part 1 of Keeping Children Safe in Education 2021 makes it clear SAFEGUARDING IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY. Governors must ensure all staff read at least part 1.

The DfE have also looked at best practice across schools:  Managing behavior and bullying in schools - case studies

The Governors' handbook is for Governors in maintained schools and academies and provides information about the core role and functions of school governing bodies and their specific legal duties.
