Digital Behaviour and AI • Learners receive education on safe digital use, including AI, with emphasis that AI cannot replace professional safeguarding guidance. • Staff must report any AI-related safeguarding concerns immediately to the DSL/DDSL or Prevent Lead https://saferinternet.org.uk/guide-and-resource/teachers-and-school- staff/appropriate-filtering-and-monitoring Multi-Agency Working Staff must cooperate fully with statutory authorities, including social care, police, and regulatory bodies, as required. Internal gathering information and making an assessment (not investigating) never replace statutory investigations. Guidance from external agencies must be followed, and staff must provide all relevant information promptly. Whistleblowing and Escalation • Staff may raise concerns internally first, or externally if necessary, and will be protected from reprisal when acting in good faith. • External reporting options include the NSPCC Whistleblowing Advice Line (0800 028 0285). • Staff must feel supported and safe to escalate concerns without fear of negative consequences. Partners, Contractors, and Third-Party Safeguarding Compliance • All partners, contractors, and external agencies must comply with SCL safeguarding policy and procedures. • Prior to engagement, SCL must verify and carry out due diligence checks: o DBS, references, and safeguarding training are up to date. o Awareness of SCL safeguarding procedures and reporting routes. • Any safeguarding concerns or allegations relating to partners/contractors must be reported immediately using the same escalation process as for SCL staff outlined in Section Four of this policy. • All partners are required to comply with safeguarding responsibilities, reporting obligations, and supervision requirements as set out in contracts, agreements, and service level agreements.”
