Practise the safeguarding
conversations only DSLs face.

Why DSLs use this trainer

• Parent & pupil conversations — Practise explaining referrals, managing hostility, and holding safeguarding boundaries.
• Multi-agency language — Rehearse conversations where DSLs must balance empathy with statutory duty.
• CPD training log — Keep a record of practice sessions for your own CPD — may support training logs; not an Ofsted or inspection submission pack.

What you practise

This is the Children's Services trainer with a school DSL framing — not a separate product. Cases are AI-generated and fictional.

• Referral conversations — Telling a parent why you are referring, without turning the meeting into an investigation you cannot run.
• Disclosure follow-up — Holding a pupil or colleague conversation after a concern, then deciding what to record and who to tell.
• Partner calls — Speaking with social care, police, or health when the school is one agency among several.

What this is not

• Not live-case advice, not an Ofsted evidence pack, and not a substitute for your school's KCSIE procedures.
• Not a standalone DSL qualification or a replacement for designated-safeguarding training your LA or MAT requires.
• Formative CPD only — scores are for reflection, not competence sign-off.
