What this looks like:
Considering all available evidence
Giving people a fair opportunity to contribute
Distinguishing fact from opinion

Independent judgement
Transparent decision-making
Constructive challenge

What this looks like:
Curiosity and reflection
Understanding why decisions were made
Exploring systemic influences

Safeguarding is everybody's responsibility. I value collaboration, respectful engagement and the contribution that different agencies and individuals bring to learning and improvement.
