"The GSC-ers came through amazingly. I received lots of emails and got so much from it that   I began talking to our leadership team….to see what [support] we can offer.  The GSC gave me a way forward and helped me exhale.  Thank you so so much."

“Your knowledge and insights have been instrumental in shaping our policies, procedures, and educational programs related to child protection. You will be happy to know that our Staff training on Child Safeguarding is already scheduled, our policy on child safeguarding has been drafted and sent for revision and approval, and that I am working hard to update our code of conduct, hiring practices, allegation procedures, etc. I could not be doing any of this work without the support of the Global Safeguarding Collaborative.  All the resources have been an invaluable source of learning.  I look forward to continuing our collaboration and creating a safer world for all children, one school at a time.”

Dear GSC group,  Thank you so much for your in-time responses! The experiences and resources you shared are just what we needed to refine our policy and procedures. Can’t imagine if we didn’t have this group established and I’m so proud to be part of this collaborative work to help keep children safe!
