    Description

    This parent safeguarding newsletter for schools will make it so much easier to communicate important safeguarding topics with your school community.

    A DSL’s role is vast, and a key element of our safeguarding provision is communicating with parents and families.

    Avoiding this time-consuming task becoming an after-thought or being hastily put together, is a challenge – but don’t worry, SFE is here to help make your regular communications with your parents that much easier!

    What do you get with SFE’s safeguarding newsletter for parents?

    • 12 pre-written safeguarding articles which you can share monthly, with your parents.
    • Relevant, appropriate and engaging content for families.
    • Signposts to useful organisations, charities, agencies and/or resources.

    All you have to do is copy and paste the newsletter link provided into your normal communication method. Plus, you get access to all the newsletter content upfront, so you could even pre-schedule your parent communications for the whole year if you’d prefer.
