The Questions Every DSL Asks But No One Answers: Collective Insights

In our first episode of Collective Insights, Chris teams up with Klaudia from Patronus Safeguarding and Jon from Safeguard-Me, to tackle the questions every DSL wrestles with but rarely speaks about.They dive into:• How to confidently close a concern without anything slipping through the cracks, including Klaudia’s four essential checks and why “lessons learned” shouldn’t be an afterthought. • What schools should actually be checking when social workers, speakers, contractors, or coaches walk through the door,  whilst Jon busts the big myth about flashing DBS certificates at reception! • What a real safeguarding culture feels like, not just looks like,  from the front gate to the first five minutes a visitor walks in, as well as why your tone, welcome, and everyday human interactions matter as much as your policies. • And why safer recruitment starts before anyone even applies (spoiler: your job advert is doing more than you think).It’s practical, honest, and grounded in real frontline experience.Useful Links: https://buymeacoffee.com/cornerstonesafeguarding  - Every coffee you buy helps us keep creating practical tools and content for safeguarding professionals like youTo find out more about Cornerstone Safeguarding - www.CornerstoneSafeguarding.co.uk Email us at Cornerstone: [email protected] in a meeting to discuss your safeguarding needs: https://calendar.app.google/AGMat9bDsAjPtqMZASubscribe to Cornerstone Connect - https://www.cornerstonesafeguarding.co.uk/cornerstoneconnectsignup - for fresh safeguarding insights, priority access to support, and exclusive discounts. Chris East on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-east-801496174/Leah East on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leah-east-cornerstone/Producers of this episode: Chris East, Leah EastHost of this episode: Chris East
