Our Safeguarding Service Level Agreement enables schools outside the Local Authority and Independent Liverpool Schools to access the above services.
‘The advice, training and resources provided have meant that as a school, we are well prepared to support our children, their families and staff. Furthermore, we are well prepared for any scrutiny from audit or Ofsted. We have had the SLA for two years. A number of Knowsley head teacher colleagues have also signed up to this service due to its excellent reputation.’ Knowsley Headteacher
‘Our school has just taken up the SLA with Liverpool and I am extremely impressed with the training and the quality of resources provided. I found the training to be extremely informative and enjoyable. Thank you!’ Knowsley Senior Leader
Schools may choose to join existing briefings or we can provide the training to a cluster of schools in their locality.
