'Debbie at Education Safeguarding Solutions is an incredibly knowledgeable safeguarding consultant, who demonstrates a deep understanding of the complexities involved in creating a culture that promotes the wellbeing, safety and inclusivity for children and staff. We were privileged enough to experience a day’s audit of our school which, included capturing children’s and staff voices and experiencing what school life is like at Lydeard St Lawrence. This was followed by a comprehensive action plan and highly targeted, dynamic training to ensure we had a flying start!

Debbie’s coaching approach enabled us to openly review our practices as a team. Her expertise and commitment to safeguarding has left our school feeling energised and focused in our commitment to our improvement journey. We highly recommend Debbie for her exceptional skills and dedication to safeguarding and putting children at the centre of everything she does. Debbie thank you for the difference you have made to the team and children at Lydeard St Lawrence School.'

'Debbie at ‘Education Safeguarding Solutions’ was recommended to me by my School Improvement Partner and School Governor in preparation for an Ofsted visit. We wanted to be confident that our safeguarding procedures and record keeping was effective, and if there were any areas that needed tightening up on. Debbie is an incredibly experienced safeguarding consultant, and she provided us with a comprehensive day with a full audit which included capturing children’s and staff voices and experiencing what school life is like at Westhaven. Debbie’s challenging yet friendly approach enabled us to openly review our practices as a team, and my Deputy DSL’s enjoyed the day so much I will engage her annual safeguarding package service moving forward. I would highly recommend any school approaching ‘the Ofsted window’ or indeed at anytime, to consider contacting Debbie for a consultation'
