NYSCP Designated Safeguarding Leads Conference 2025
North Yorkshire Safeguarding Children Partnership are pleased to announce that the Designated Safeguarding Lead Conference will return on Tuesday, 23rd September 2025 at Pavilions of Harrogate.
This year’s conference will have a theme of “working with ‘health’ in education”. A task and finish group has been planning a series of exciting workshops and a thought-provoking keynote speaker exploring ADHD and neurodiversity. Alongside this, as usual, we will have a wide array of partners available to speak with DSLs at our Marketplace.
For this incredible day, we are offering an Early bird price of just £70 (prices will increase to £85 for bookings made after the end of the summer term). As usual, places are limited, and following the success of previous conferences, we expect the day to book up quickly.
On booking, you will be able to select your workshops for the day. Please note that you will be able to select three workshops to attend throughout the day. All workshops will be repeated at each time interval. Details of the workshops are listed here. Workshops will also be on a first-come, first-served basis when booking. If more than one delegate is attending from your school, we would advise you to select different workshops, in order to get the most from the day.

Adult Safeguarding Training
Anyone who works with adults in the community, either as a paid worker or volunteer, has a role to play in safeguarding adults and promoting their health and wellbeing. They need to have the right skills and knowledge to work with people to help and protect them. A range of training courses have been developed to suit all levels of staff and volunteers from the statutory, voluntary and independent sectors.
These can be assessed through North Yorkshire Safeguarding Adults Board.

NYSCP Cancellation & Charging Policy
All NYSCP named courses are subject to NYSCP cancellation and charging policy. To view NYSCP’s cancellation policy click on the drop-down section below:
The NYSCP coordinates safeguarding training for colleagues working with children and young people in North Yorkshire in line with its Learning and Improvement Framework. Training focuses on themes identified in the North Yorkshire Safeguarding Children Partnership (NYSCP) Business Plan, Practice Guidance, Procedures, learning from reviews, audits, and national and local guidance.
Training is designed to offer colleagues across agencies an opportunity to share experiences and improve their skills in operational practice and ensures that training and learning impact positively on future practice and ultimately improve outcomes for children.
For face-to-face delivery courses, it is important that delegates attend for the duration of the course and arrive and leave at the specified times.
Demand for NYSCP courses is high and as a result, some applicants may not be able to obtain a place. To ensure that we achieve maximum attendance for our courses agencies must either:
– Provide us with a minimum of seven days’ notice of any cancellation for the place to be offered to another candidate. Where a booking is cancelled less than seven days before the course, except in circumstances of sickness, the cancellation fee will be £50 for one half-day training and £50 per day where the course lasts two days or more. Candidates who are unable to attend due to sickness must inform the NYSCP Business Unit immediately after they are aware of their inability to attend by emailing nyscp@northyorks.gov.uk; or
– Send another colleague to attend the course in the place of the original delegate. This is acceptable practice, and no charge will be made. Where this is the case, the substitute delegate must inform the course tutor, and the course register should be amended to recognise the substitution.
By signing up to complete a course delegates must be aware that if they do not attend a NYSCP-delivered course and have failed to comply with points one or two above they will incur a cancellation charge of £50.
