iExel Education Trust
In 2021, we sought a consultant to support the Trust in providing professional safeguarding expertise and to provide assurance that all primary schools within the Trust meet their safeguarding responsibilities and are compliant in keeping children safe.
Following a fully transparent procurement process we opted to work with Safeguarding Support Limited as they listened to our requirements and were able to offer a completely bespoke safeguarding package designed specifically to meet the needs of the Trust and ensure a standardised approach.
We believe working with Safeguarding Support Limited has strengthened our standardisation, improved our systems and procedures and given us the confidence and knowledge to challenge behaviours, attitudes, and cultures to achieve the very best outcomes for our pupils and their families.

Assistant Headteacher – Bradford Grammar School
The audit we had with Yvonne was excellent. It delved into areas of Safeguarding which wouldn’t ordinarily be covered by other auditing processes. Yvonne also gave lots of really useful hints and tips as to how we could action things – it wasn’t just a list of things we need to do, but how to do them too.
Yvonne tailored the day to suit us – we covered a lot in one day and have come out of it with a really useful document which we’ve already begun to action. We will definitely schedule in another audit in the future.
I would recommend Safeguarding Support Ltd because the review was thorough and rigorous whilst also meeting our needs as a school.
Headteacher – Primary School
Safeguarding reviews have taken place across our 6 Academies. Each review was led by an expert who was thorough, knowledgeable and insightful. A clear report has been provided, post review, outlining steps for us to move forward. We would highly recommend.
Director of School Improvement – The Woodard Academies Trust
Excellent training, new knowledge acquired and some key actions for me to follow up. The training is always superbly delivered with lots of references to key documents and updates which we need to know about but don’t always have the time to keep up with. As always, the trainers depth of knowledge comes across and the information is always presented in a manner which makes you think carefully and promotes discussion. Thank you for such quality training.
The training is always high quality, presented in a way that develops even the most experienced DSL’s thinking and enables you, as a professional to feel confident in your role.
Co-Acting Headteacher – Cottingley Village Primary School
The [Reflective Supervision] session was absolutely brilliant. The Supervisor was amazing. We had a great discussion around different aspects of quite a few key families and she gave me some idea to research and think about. It was an hour well spent, so thank you for arranging it.
Active Learning Trust – Primary School
Yvonne was an exceptional trainer, she was very clear and concise, would speak openly and respond to all questions in detail. I would highly recommend her. Fantastic!The training was thorough with a large range of case studies, information and new material which I did not expect to receive. It was thought-provoking and engaging throughout.
Jess – Assistant Vice Principal
We found the Safeguarding review extremely useful and good value for money. The session felt very supportive- where gaps were identified, Yvonne worked with us on the day to ensure we had the most up to date legislation and appropriate paperwork, so we were able to immediately implement changes. Her safeguarding knowledge is exceptional. It is invaluable to have a safeguarding guru on your side. As a headteacher you often feel you have so many plates to spin and safeguarding is an area that you simply can not afford to get wrong!
The review feedback has been a very useful tool- we have been able to work quickly through the action points and now feel very confident that are safeguarding arrangements are effective. Governors also found the documents useful. Yvonne has been very supportive with any follow up queries, and we will certainly be making it an annual part of our school improvement cycle. I would highly recommend Safeguarding Support.
Headteacher – Canterbury Nursery School
