Safeguarding Policy & Procedures (Children & Adults at Risk)

28

Support and Lessons Learned SCL recognises that staff involved in safeguarding concerns, low-level concerns, or allegations may experience stress or emotional impact. Support is provided for: • Person making the allegation: Guidance, reassurance, and access to wellbeing support. • Alleged victim: Emotional support, practical help, and safeguarding measures. • Alleged perpetrator: Fair treatment, clarity on the process, and impartial support via a designated person not involved in the investigation. Support may include counselling, occupational health services, or access to other mental health resources. Staff may raise support needs with their Line Manager, DSL, People Team, or case manager (usually DSL + People Director unless a conflict exists). DSL and People Director review cases to identify lessons from actions and support provided. Learning informs updates to policy, procedures, and safeguarding training to improve practice and safeguard learners and staff.
