Single Central Records Audit
The governing board and the headteacher or school’s designated safeguarding lead (DSL) are responsible for ensuring that safeguarding procedures, including the SCR, are appropriate and up to date.
The inspection of safeguarding is one of the most significant elements of a school’s Ofsted inspection. Consequently, even an otherwise good or outstanding school can be downgraded to inadequate overall if safeguarding is not judged to be effective. The school’s SCR is a key part of the evidence that Ofsted inspectors will consider when inspecting safeguarding in schools.
