• This half-day (4 hours) programme is designed for Higher Education Governors, Trustees and Council Members to give them the tools and knowledge to identify and fulfil their safeguarding responsibilities. It will also provide up-to-date developments in the areas of The Prevent Duty as well as duty of care in higher education.

    This briefing for university governors provides an overview of legal responsibilities, institutional policies, and best practices to ensure student safety. It covers key risks such as abuse, radicalisation, and mental health concerns while emphasising the importance of governance oversight, reporting procedures, and compliance with regulations like the Prevent Duty and GDPR. By fostering a proactive safeguarding culture, governors can support senior leadership, challenge inadequate practices, and help create a safer university environment.
