thanks sunny. there seems to be a penchant for inspectors around here to ask staff what cse is and what to do about it or what they know about CL etc just trying to ensure we know what all of them are!

Sorry can't help, but this reminded me for years I thought we had to follow SET procedures - mean they were ones 'set' out for everyone.

 After a few years I realised that actually we had to follow Southend, Essex, and Thurrock procedures!!!!!!

Mind you in  those the days the SG policy was called CP and it was on a double side sheet A4 folded into a leaflet.

I will have a look around and se what I can find.

I can only think of the following

DSL = Designated Safeguarding Lead

CP = Child Protection

LAC = Looked after Child

LADO = Local Authority Designated Officer

MASH = Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub

 

Sure there must be others

I know some of these are Cornwall specific so won’t apply to you.
