Course outline:

This seminar is specifically designed for staff working in summer schools with international students. It will provide essential knowledge and practical tools to help you create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all learners.

Safeguarding must be a top priority, and every member of staff involved in summer school provision should understand not only the practical steps involved, but also how to adopt a child-centred approach. This session will explore the core principles of safeguarding within the context of short-term programmes and highlight the unique needs of international students, such as language, cultural adjustment, and emotional wellbeing.

Training topics will include:

โ€ข Understanding your safeguarding responsibilities and duty of care
โ€ข Implementing policies, procedures, and a robust safeguarding framework
โ€ข Addressing the specific needs of international students: cultural differences, homesickness, and communication barriers
โ€ข Recognising and responding appropriately to safeguarding concerns.

Learning outcomes:

โ€ข Develop a solid understanding of safeguarding principles in the context of summer schools
โ€ข Strengthen your ability to support international students with sensitivity and cultural awareness
โ€ข Gain confidence in identifying and responding to safeguarding issues
โ€ข Ensure compliance with UK safeguarding legislation and best practice.
