Safeguarding is now judged on its own binary scale - met, or not met -separate from everything else. If it’s not met, leadership and management is almost always judged ineffective too.

What’s included:

How safeguarding is actually judged under the current framework, including what changed in late 2025
What happens before the visit, in the first hour, and what the SCR needs to look like
Real Q&A tables for the DSL, SLT and governors, classroom and support staff, and what pupils are asked
The weak spots that most commonly trip schools up
A one-page “day itself” quick reference, ready to print

Who it’s for: DSLs, headteachers and SLT preparing for an Ofsted inspection.

Pairs naturally with the KCSIE 2026 Gap Analysis Toolkit and Safeguarding Policy Review Tracker - this guide is the conversation, those tools are the evidence.
