SAFEGUARDING

We deliver training remotely, while learners work in real dental practices.

This means safeguarding covers two environments:

1. Online Learning (DNA)
   • Safe, monitored communication systems
   • No learner-to-learner contact
   • Staff trained to identify signs of concern
   • Clear reporting and escalation processes
2. Workplace (Employer)
   • Safe supervision and support
   • A named workplace mentor
   • Protection from bullying or unsafe practice
   • Clear responsibilities for employers

We follow a simple process:

Notice → Check → Share

• Notice something that doesn’t feel right
• Check by asking or observing appropriately
• Share with the safeguarding team immediately

Our Safeguarding At A Glance poster provides a quick reference

We are committed to preventing radicalisation and extremist influence.

We will act on concerns where someone may be vulnerable to:

We may work with external agencies where required.
