Simon Dean Email & Phone Number

I have 20 years experience working within Child Safeguarding supporting the development of safeguarding practice through training, learning and development and procedures to ensure staff confidence and competency in their roles. I have an in depth knowledge of how safeguarding functions. I currently work across the UK with Local Authorities, Independent Providers and Safeguarding Children Partnerships and have a good overview of the current and future challenges. My role means constantly updating my knowledge on safeguarding through the contacts I work with, by monitoring national developments and keeping up with the research relating to safeguarding practice. Previously I have worked in the voluntary sector and am a qualified teacher so have a good understanding of multi-agency practice. I am a natural communicator and am quick to build positive relationships in teams and with colleagues. It matters to me that the work I do means that children in need of help are identified and supported by staff who themselves are supported in their work.

Listed skills include Training, Public Speaking, Copywriting, Press Releases, and 16 others.
