Governor Safeguarding Questions
A printable question bank for school governors and trustees to ask the DSL and senior leadership about online and offline safeguarding. Aligned with KCSIE 2025.
What's included
Twenty-five evidence-seeking questions for governors and trustees, organised under the KCSIE 2025 categories: leadership and management; safer recruitment; the role of the DSL; online safety, filtering and monitoring; child-on-child abuse; mobile phone and AI policies; record-keeping; SEND; and engagement with parents. Each question is paired with the kind of evidence to look for so the conversation stays specific rather than performative.
