Safeguarding Leadership Tools

Gathering meaningful stakeholder feedback on safeguarding is not simply a matter of asking whether pupils feel safe. Effective safeguarding surveys need to explore whether pupils know which adults to turn to and trust that they will be helped, whether parents feel confident in how the school handles concerns and communicates about online safety, and whether all staff – not just those in designated roles – understand their statutory duties and feel equipped to act on them.

This pack gives you everything you need to plan, administer, analyse and act on stakeholder feedback about safeguarding, and because the core survey templates come pre-populated with carefully considered questions, you can move from planning to distribution with minimal preparation time.

You'll get:

☑️ Three ready-to-use surveys – a pupil survey in two versions (emoji scale for younger or less confident pupils; Likert scale for older or more able pupils), a parent survey and a staff survey – all aligned to the 2025 Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit

☑️ A question and statement bank covering feeling safe, trusted adults and reporting, well-being and support, relationships and healthy relationships education, safeguarding culture, statutory duties and scenarios, training and confidence, and reflection, challenge and inclusion

☑️ A survey analysis template with tally tables, open question theme tables, a summary and next steps section, and an Overall Summary Triangulation table with RAG ratings

☑️ A pre-survey checklist to guide you through each stage of the process, and four survey letter templates for communicating with parents and staff before and after the survey

☑️ An 18-page PDF guidance document covering the full survey cycle, and a free worked example to help you interpret and act on your results

All documents (excluding the PDFs) are fully editable so you can adapt them for your school's specific context.
