In May, Ofsted published their report Best Practice in Safeguarding outlining effective safeguarding practice in 15 providers. This year's LSIS safeguarding conferences (which took place on 10 February in London and 21 February in Manchester) focused on provider’s safeguarding journeys. LSIS advocate a whole organisational approach to safeguarding, encouraging providers to recognise the inter-relationship between safeguarding and;

• safer recruitment
• health and safety
• whistle blowing
• equality and diversity
• the learner voice
• inclusive risk assessment
