What Teachers Really Want to Ask About Safeguarding — But Are Scared To

What do teachers really want to ask about safeguarding — but are often too scared to say out loud?In this Q&A episode of the SLT Podcast, Ziggy sits down with safeguarding expert AnneMarie Christian to answer the questions many teachers, teaching assistants, and school leaders quietly carry but may hesitate to ask.Together, they explore what staff should do when a safeguarding concern is reported but nothing seems to happen, why over-reporting is safer than silence, how to respond when you are worried you might be wrong, and how schools can build a culture where professional curiosity is normal — not uncomfortable.From low-level concerns and whistleblowing fears to behaviour, external services, and the pressure schools face when systems are stretched, this episode is an honest safeguarding conversation for anyone working with children and young people.💬 “This isn’t policy, this is honesty.”📱 Join Our FREE WhatsApp Community → ‎https://chat.whatsapp.com/LiTpC4FbUA2...📲 Follow Us: Instagram:   / the_slt_podcast   TikTok:   / slt.podcast   Listen to us on the go:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13hI6St...Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...⸻📢 About SLT Podcast: Hosted by Rena Johnson (Deputy Head, Designated Teacher, SENDco & DSL) and Ziggy Moore (Assistant Headteacher & Founder of Moore Education), the SLT Podcast is a bi-weekly series featuring powerful conversations with leaders doing impactful work in education and youth development.
