Pupil Safeguarding Review

In autumn 2022, Edurio and The Key carried out England’s largest review of children’s own feelings of safety in school and beyond. Together, we surveyed 70,000 pupils across 373 schools and 41 trusts to get an inside picture of pupils’ perceptions of their safety on a national scale. Hearing our pupils’ perspectives is vital to reflecting on and shaping effective safeguarding strategies for them.

With these insights, as leaders you can:

Evaluate where the policies and practices you have in place are having the intended impact for the safety of your pupils

Proactively identify and target any areas that could require a more robust approach to get safeguarding right in your school or trust

Second report is now live

You may have already read our first report, which explores whether pupils in English schools feel safe and if they know what to do if they do not. The second report delves deeper into the data collected as part of the review, focusing on safeguarding in the curriculum. Sign up below to receive the report.

About the project authors

Our aim is to support schools and trusts to keep every pupil safe. To do this, we believe the sector needs to come together to support schools and trusts in new and different ways.

This is why we’re delighted by the combined capabilities of Edurio and The Key. Together we can help schools and trusts to assess where, and for which pupil groups, their policies and practices are working – and which areas need more attention and a more robust approach. We can then collaborate with schools and trusts to define and implement the approach that’s right for them.

All with the shared goal of raising safeguarding effectiveness in our schools and trusts, to make sure that every pupil is safe.
