In this third episode of The ABC of Safeguarding, Wellington College’s Delyth Lynch reaches the letter C, meeting Nicola Hunter at Canford School in Dorset.
Nicola talks about her career and how her seven happy years as a boarder inspired her to work in boarding schools.
She talks about the value of patience and repeated listening as a safeguarding lead and how not everything bubbles to the surface in a first conversation.
Nicola emphasises the importance of the Local Authority Designated Officer as a listening ear and highlights what she has got from attending the local DSL forum.
