According to the National Governance Association, 55% of schools across the country reported an increase in safeguarding concerns in 2023, and a study by the NSPCC and teaching union NASUWT found that 86% of teachers had noted an increase in low self-esteem among students, with 76% seeing an increase in depression.
Teachers and school staff spend more time than most in direct contact with students; therefore, they have a moral requirement to prioritise safeguarding.
But despite the best efforts of many, rising class numbers, overworked staff, less one-to-one time between teachers and students and reduced contact with parents make effective safeguarding more challenging than ever.
