**Get out what you put in**
You will support the Designated Safeguarding Lead by working under their direction to ensure that all safeguarding, child protection and welfare concerns are dealt with appropriately. You will work with the Designated Safeguarding Lead to support staff to ensure that they listen to children’s concern’s, report them in a timely manner and record them clearly and concisely.
