How safer learning environments benefit learners
It is clear that learners benefit from a safer learning environment. They are more able to fulfil their potential when they are secure and supported.
A commitment to creating a safer learning environment also impacts on the wider organisation. Staff are duty-bound to work towards a safer learning environment, for their own protection and the welfare of learners.
Learners told staff at LSIS how important staff attitudes were to them in making them feel safe enough to disclose a safeguarding challenge.
