SchooliP Safeguarding Audits

Teachers and other school staff play a very important role in keeping children safe.

Schools should:

Create safe environments for children and young people through robust safeguarding practices
Create environments in which children are confident to share problems
Ensure adults who are in contact with children in schools don’t pose a risk
Make sure staff are suitably trained and know how to appropriately respond to concerns
Children are taught about staying safe
It is important that schools are able to evaluate their current practices, identifying strengths and areas for improvement.

What is an audit?

An audit is a tool to assess internal controls, processes, compliance, and the protection of assets. The audit is performed by individuals within the school.

Audit reports are able to be produced for leadership and governors/ trustees. The SchooliP audit module is just one of many features available. SchooliP is a single platform that makes it easy and cost-effective to manage every aspect of school improvement, from staff to trust, from professional development to sustainability.

Why run an audit?

The internal audit process can be a helpful tool for schools to evaluate risk and identify actionable ways to improve performance.It is is an excellent method of benchmarking current practices, as well as identifying areas that require improvement. Audits can take place at any point during the academic year and feed into your whole school improvement plan.

If required you can also link the audit to your school priorities and improvement plan. The improvement plan module in SchooliP allows you to define objectives and actions to key staff members.
