Please see attached for the second Designated Safeguarding Lead update (PDF, 733kb) from Oxfordshire’s Virtual School. The aim of this termly publication is to share information, useful strategies and ideas to support the work you do with children subject to CIN and CP planning, and children who have at some point been open to Children’s Social Care. Do pass on, print and display, as appropriate.

In addition to this newsletter, the Virtual School have a comprehensive training and support programme which we encourage DSLs and other key members of staff to access. All of our training is free. To view our 2023-24 training and support offer, click here.
