The 2025 Ofsted Report Card marks a major shift in how safeguarding is judged, moving from compliance to culture.

This Leadership Insight explores how school and trust leaders can evidence safeguarding practice through culture, capacity and leadership, not paperwork.

It examines the new Ofsted expectations around reflective supervision, wellbeing, curriculum integration and leadership capacity, offering practical examples and vignettes from real schools.

Learn how to prepare for inspection, demonstrate psychological safety, and build a safeguarding culture that protects pupils and staff.

Includes a free downloadable Safeguarding Self-Review Tool aligned with Ofsted 2025, KCSIE 2025 and Working Together (2023).

Discover the safeguarding priorities in the Ofsted 2025 framework and how leaders can ‘safeguard the safeguarders’, build capacity, and evidence culture.
