As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, so too do the risks associated with sharing images of children and young people online. Many organisations are reviewing their current practices and asking what advice they should now be providing to staff, parents and carers.

Our new resource pack aims to help organisations working with children and young people understand and handle these emerging risks. Available to purchase on our shop and free to all registered Safer Schools via the teach hub.

StudentSAFE's Cases and Forms feature simplifies incident reporting and case management for pastoral care.

Many schools have strong reporting processes but have less structure when it comes to managing and acting on concerns. Cases and Forms helps resolve those concerns.

Hear from Victoria Raynor, Director of Raynor Safeguarding LTD and Co-Founder of Beyond Inclusion, as she shares how Cases and Forms support a more intentional approach to case management—helping DSLs and senior leaders have a clearer, more structured view of risk, action, and oversight.

Independent Safeguarding Audit Update

INEQE Safeguarding Group recently met with Church of England safeguarding professionals in Belfast to discuss their expert insights on safeguarding within the Church. While INEQE maintains absolute independence, these collaborative sessions ensure that the audit process remains up to date with policy and practice across the Church as well as focusing on areas of audit feedback that identify stubborn challenges and areas a for improvement.

Meeting Highlights:

Audit Team Expansion: INEQE announced the expansion of the audit team to add further depth and value to the Church of England  Independent Safeguarding Audit Programme (ISAP).

Threshold Tool Development: The group explored the potential for a standardised Church "Threshold Tool". This proposed tool would assist safeguarding teams in consistently distinguishing between conduct issues and safeguarding concerns, aiming for a uniform and effective approach to identifying harm.

Progress Tracking: The group reviewed previous recommendations from past audits, identifying inhibitors to progress, such as certain organisational structures, and indicators of early positive impact.

Stakeholder Engagement: Finally we updated participants on the trends and themes regarding stakeholder engagement and reflected on the fact that the Audit has now engaged with over 300 victims and survivors. Their input is crucial and the Audit is working to enhance engagement with families in the coming year.

"By engaging with this group, we ensure that the audit process remains responsive to the changing safeguarding landscape while maintaining the absolute independence of our findings. Their commitment is instrumental in our shared goal of strengthening the safeguarding culture across the Church of England.” Hannah Paul, INEQE CofE Audits  Project Lead

The meeting concluded with a commitment to maintaining a strong ‘line of sight’ on progress and ensuring that audit recommendations lead to tangible improvements in safeguarding governance.
