Blogs and Guidance
This blog deep dives into the everyday life of a Multi Academy Trust (MAT) Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL). For a DSL, every decision echoes across schools, staff, and pupils. It’s a responsibility that requires a steady hand, sharp focus, and unshakable resolve. With over 22,000 multi-academy trusts in the UK, the role of a MAT DSL has become increasingly serious.
Volume 2 of our ‘A Day in the Life of a DSL’ series takes a deeper dive into the role of the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) within schools. For many DSLs, the reality involves navigating unpredictable, emotionally charged situations that require immediate action. Their role isn’t about ticking boxes — it’s about making decisions that can profoundly impact a child’s life.
