What happens when you swap the front line of police investigations for the corridors of a primary school?
For 12 years, Katie James worked in child abuse investigations. Today, she supports children in school, and still sees the same stories unfold.
In this episode, Katie and Chris unpack the unseen side of safeguarding:
Why what happens after a disclosure matters most
How to stay objective in the most emotionally charged work imaginable
The truth about isolation, and how one simple idea rebuilt connection for DSLs across her area
If safeguarding ever feels like a one-person mission, this episode will remind you you’re not alone.
