Safeguarding

What is Safeguarding?

Safeguarding is about working together to protect the health & well-being of children. It is about people & organisations working together to prevent and reduce the risks of children experiencing abuse and neglect.

One of the core principles of safeguarding is to put the child first in all cases. The most important thing is to realise that everyone has a responsibility to ensure that every action is in the best interest of the child(ren) in question.

 
 

What is the GoStudent Safety Centre? 

The GoStudent Safety Centre is a dedicated page within the Dashboard which provides you and your students with an overview of GoStudent’s safeguarding procedures, safety guidelines, and contact details for local authorities. We have also introduced a ‘Report’ button, which enables you to quickly and easily report any concerns directly to the GoStudent team.

This feature is powered by MYCONCERN®, a secure and trusted safeguarding software used by schools, colleges and other organisations worldwide.
