Guidance for awarding bodies: Safeguarding and protecting children
This guide arises out of the Clywch Report from the Children’s Commissioner in Wales, which investigated allegations of sexual child abuse in a school setting. The report recommended that guidance be provided on the roles of awarding bodies with regard to child protection arrangements. The guidance is split into two parts; responsibilities and good practice guidance.
