Course Description
The Single Central Record is one of the most scrutinised aspects of safeguarding compliance in schools and trusts – yet for many staff, it can feel confusing, complex, and intimidating.
Demystifying the Single Central Record strips away the jargon and breaks the process down into clear, manageable steps.
This course blends expert insight with real-world examples, giving delegates the confidence to:
- Understand the legal and statutory framework that underpins the SCR
- Identify who must be included and what information must be recorded
- Recognise common pitfalls and how to avoid them during inspection
- Develop processes to keep the SCR accurate, secure, and up to date
- Embed a culture of safeguarding assurance through effective record keeping
Delivered by Louis Donald, a national safeguarding leader whose SCR training is used to train Ofsted inspectors, this session is designed to be practical, engaging, and directly relevant to your role.
Whether you are new to managing the SCR, or experienced but seeking reassurance and best practice, this course will leave you confident that your Single Central Record can withstand scrutiny and more importantly, that it plays its part in keeping children safe.
