Jeanette & Diane were delighted to bring their third, National Safeguarding Conference to Cumbria.

This prestigious event was our 10^th Anniversary of Safe Haven Consulting. To mark our celebration, we selected a new and exciting venue, here in West Cumbria:

The conference  provided a national platform to bring together our clients over the past decade and to reflect on safeguarding, ‘The bigger picture’ in this current climate.

Energus is a recognised centre of excellence for training and education; we were delighted that they were working with us, to manage this key event.

Energus were excited to be part of our celebration and all delegates were warmly welcomed l, to join us 

*COVID guidelines (if applicable) will be followed, as per Government guidance at the time.

The conference will be appropriate for all who hold a Safeguarding role in schools and colleges, including: Heads, DSL’s, Deputies, SLT, Governors & Management Committees. Agencies who work to safeguard children are also welcome to this rare event.

In January, Jeanette & Diane attended the prestigious ‘Child Protection Trainer of the Year Awards 2018’ at the Hilton Hotel in London, West End.

Many thanks to Rachel Field, Headteacher and her school, Ashfield Infant & Nursery in Workington, for our glowing nomination (see extract below) that lead to Safe Haven Consulting and the training we provide, being recognised at national level. It was a privilege to attend this wonderful event and have our training acknowledged - together, with all of you, we are making a difference to safeguarding children and young people in Cumbria.

Safe Haven Consulting thanks all our schools and Cumbrian clients for their continued support which made this national training acknowledgement possible.

"Safe Haven Consulting have been providing outstanding safeguarding training to schools and providers throughout our area for several years.

In my opinion, children in our county are undoubtedly safer due to their commitment, passion and determination to raise awareness.

I was privileged to attend a safeguarding conference organised by Safe Haven Consulting.

This extraordinary event brought together leading professionals in the field of child protection; the opportunity to hear speakers of such calibre is a rare thing due to our relatively isolated location in Cumbria – Safe Haven Consulting are trailblazers for safeguarding children in the northwest in that they are passionate about providing access to the most current guidance and practise, that would otherwise be inaccessible to us.

What makes Safe Haven so deserving as nominees is that unlike most training providers, Safe Haven Consulting offer support that goes far beyond the training room. There have been more than several occasions throughout my time as a school leader when I have been unable to access support or advice – Safe Haven are always at the end of the phone or email and never fail to return a call.

It is a very challenging time in which to be a head teacher, and at times the responsibility can appear overwhelming – Safe Haven never fail to offer practical, timely and non-judgemental support that can make a real difference to our day to day experience of safeguarding children.

In summary therefore, I wish to nominate Safe Haven Consulting for their outstanding work. I can think of few providers who offer their unique blend of expertise and personal support through their training and consultancy."
