In this latest episode of the ABC of Safeguarding, Delyth Lynch meets experienced designated safeguarding lead Lynne Barron, deputy head pastoral at Eagle House, a prep school in Berkshire.
Lynne, who previously taught at Bedales School for 17 years, talks about the early years of safeguarding and how the role has changed beyond recognition since the start of her career.
Lynne talks about the task of juggling all the aspects of her role and how, over time, she has got better at breaking difficult news and developed her ability to communicate with students, staff and parents involved in safeguarding cases.
