Safeguarding Scenario: Pre-Holiday Disclosures

Use this free safeguarding scenario to explore a challenging safeguarding situation with your staff. Included in this freebie is one fictional safeguarding scenario where a pupil writes concerning content about what they expect to be doing in the summer holiday. However, there is confusion over whether their writing is fictional or not and the pupil has now left school for the summer holidays. The scenario is gender neutral and suitable for both primary and secondary settings.

Also included is a guided walkthrough for the DSL or safeguarding training lead which lets you check whether staff understand how to respond to a safeguarding concern, despite it being the end of the academic year. It's ideal to use as a discussion point in a staff meeting or INSET. It can also be used in response to safeguarding trends or concerns in your setting to build staff understanding of keeping children safe. 

Fully aligned to KCSIE 2024, this scenario is also available as part of the Safeguarding Training Pack - Summer Term. Why not try it out and consider whether Honeyguide's safeguarding scenarios become part of your ongoing safeguarding training that builds a strong culture of safeguarding in your school.
