Researchers at King's College London are undertaking important research on safeguarding and protecting children during the pandemic.

The study focuses on safeguarding and child protection practice and the multiagency response to the covid-19 pandemic from the perspective of senior leaders in all agencies with child protection responsibilities, including schools.  

NAHT is supporting this research and would encourage you to contribute, either by completing the survey yourself or by asking your school's designated safeguarding lead to do so.

The survey is expected to take 20-30 minutes to complete, depending on the answers to filter questions, and it will be open for 14 days, until 15 February. Click here to complete the survey.  

The information sheet for the study is here and is also accessible through the survey link. 

Further information about the study and findings from the first stage of the study are available on the NAHT website here.
