Services For Education provides a wide range of services and professional development opportunities to enable schools to meet their wider safeguarding requirements to ensure children and young people are protected from harm.

We have courses to suit every kind of job role that involves contact with children, whether it be whole staff general safeguarding or analysis of specific safeguarding issues such as CSE, FGM or safer recruitment.

These include centre-based, in-house training sessions, online courses and bespoke consultations, depending on your needs. A number of these are accredited or validated by external organisations to provide delegates with a nationally recognised certification. Find out more about us, here. 

After over a decade of teaching in secondary schools, including roles as a Designated Safeguarding Lead and Pastoral Lead, Jo moved into a training role as an Education Adviser with Services for Education. Jo combines her experience in schools with a personal knowledge of child protection and childhood trauma as a foster carer.

Jo regularly trains staff groups on Safeguarding and PSHE/RSE and leads centre based training courses including Designated Safeguarding Lead courses.

In addition Jo worked as a West Midlands’ Adviser for a national PSHE resource, has delivered a presentation to the Sex Education Forum national Members’ Event and helped to create many RSE resources for Services For Education.
