SchoolPoint 365:

• Log onto our area of Schoolpoint here: Schoolpoint 365: Education Settings Safeguarding Children Teams
  (create a shortcut to this page and add it to your 'favourites' or desktop for easy access in the future)

SchoolPoint shows:

• Your safeguarding children team details & your individual or setting 'training ID'
• The age range of your pupils & type of educational setting
• Contact details for your Safeguarding Children Advisor, Education
• Your whole-school & individual Sheffield Children Safeguarding Partnership training records

This system relies on settings keeping their team information up to date – if this is done, we will add the rest of the information!

We will use this information to:

• Provide support, guidance and training to relevant practitioners
• Communicate with practitioners in your setting about safeguarding issues
• Support practitioner training pathways
• Help education settings to fulfil their responsibility to inform the Local Authority about their safeguarding arrangements
