Schools in the spotlight: Safeguarding, disclosures and the Family Court 

Thursday 7 May 2026, 10am - 11am

Schools don't expect to find themselves scrutinised by a Family Court judge – but when they do, the consequences can be serious. This panel discussion will give you practical tools to strengthen your safeguarding practice and a clear understanding of what happens when things go wrong. 

Chaired by Vicky Wilson and Naomi De Silva, you'll hear from a panel including a Crown Prosecution Service representative, a Family Court judge and one of our in-house barristers – and leave with greater confidence in managing disclosures, clearer insight into Family Court expectations and practical steps to review your procedures.
