Safeguard / Multi-Agency Working
Who is involved, how to reach them, and when it is next reviewed.
Record the plan for the situation: the agencies involved, the people to reach and the review date, with actions referenced where they live, on the DSL Action Board.
Student Radar supports authorised safeguarding practice. It does not replace the DSL, local procedures or professional judgement.
From concern to DSL-led action
The plan and the people around it
Multi-agency work depends on knowing who is involved and how to reach them. The plan is where that is recorded.
01
Create the plan
Start the plan for the situation and its lifecycle, from draft onwards.
02
Record the agencies and contacts
The agencies involved and the people to reach sit on the plan, drawn from the agency directory.
03
Review, and close when right
The plan carries its review date, overdue when it is overdue, and closes when a person decides the work is done.
Evidence in context
Who, from where, and until when
The plan holds the agencies, the contacts and the review; the actions stay on the DSL Action Board, referenced through the communication log, which is where the plan itself points.
- Plans with lifecycle states from draft onwards
- Agencies and contacts from the directory
- Review dates on the plan, with overdue visible
