One purchase covers the school that buys it. Print it, copy it, hand it round your department. Not for passing to other schools or uploading anywhere.
Safeguarding is the one duty in a school that belongs to every adult in the building, not to a job title. The law says so, and inspection tests it by asking the people furthest from the safeguarding office what they would do.
This booklet is built to be handed to all of them — a shared culture first, then the four actions that follow from it: recognise, respond, record, refer.
