In Episode 2, of Series 2, we talk about PREVENT in 2022 - We discuss the signs and indicators of radicalisation, and how the INCEL community operates. 

This episode talks about Terrorism, and terrorist incidents. It may not be suitable for those who are affected by discussions in this area. 

In this episode of Safeguarding Days! - Host, Louis Donald, explores some of the top tips and tricks when it comes to identifying good practice in Safeguarding files, and Child Protection Records.

Arthur's Story

Arthur Labinjo Hughes, aged 6, collapsed at a home in Cranmore Road, Shirley, Solihull with head injuries and later died in hospital. His father Thomas Hughes has been found guilty of manslaughter and his step mum Emma Tustin of murder.

Louis Donald, Director of Safeguarding at the Creative Education Trust, has created a slide deck about the dreadful murder of six-year old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes for leaders to use with staff to dispel any misunderstanding of events, and clarify the next steps the Government intends to take.

Louis says, 'I am encouraging leaders to use it as a backdrop to a conversation about the importance of vigilance and the unique power schools have: 'the daily check-in'.'

Thank you so much to Louis for created this powerful slide deck and for his generosity in sharing it.

Ep 30: What is Incel?

The gunman who killed five people in a mass shooting in Plymouth ranted at a 16-year-old girl that “women are arrogant and entitled beyond belief” in some of his final online exchanges just a few days before he embarked on Britain’s worst mass shooting in more than a decade.

 Jake Davison, 22, told a US teenager on a subreddit forum that he was “bitter and jealous” and that women “treat men with zero respect or even view them as human beings”.

 In the online messages posted days before he killed five people, including his mother and a three-year-old girl, Davison’s adherence to “incel” culture is starkly evident.

Incels – involuntary celibate men – are members of misogynistic online groups who blame women for their sexual failings.

 In this episode of Safeguarding days, we are going to explore INCEL – what is it, and what can we do in education to raise staff awareness?

 Involuntary celibates, known as Incels are members of an online subculture who define themselves as unable to find a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one.

CPD Webinar: Ofsted review into sexual abuse in schools

In April 2021, the Government asked Ofsted to carry out a rapid review of sexual abuse in schools and colleges, following the publication of thousands of testimonies of sexual abuse on the website Everyone’s Invited. The report has now been published, with Ofsted warning that sexual harassment has become “normalised” among school-age children.

 This is not a briefing on what action the Trust or its schools are taking, but rather a CPD webinar designed to help leaders understand the findings of the report, explain the key points, and look in-depth at the recommendations.

 This webinar is pitched towards school leaders, Trustees, and local governing bodies; but is open to any staff across the MAT who wish to join.

Episode 26: Knife crime with Alison Cope 

 Alison Cope is the mother of Joshua Ribera, who was murdered in 2013 when he was stabbed with a knife outside a nightclub in Birmingham.

 In this episode of safeguarding days, I have the privilege of speaking to Alison about Josh, his death, and her work now to help prevent youth violence by sharing her son’s unique life and death story to educate young people on the realities and consequences of youth violence.

 – a must listen for DSLs!
