CST Safeguarding Conference 2026

This year’s conference will explore how trust leaders can protect children in a highly connected world where digital risks and online harms are constantly evolving. Our keynotes and workshops will consider how schools can draw upon the best evidence to strengthen safeguarding practice and build strategies that are inclusive and effective for all children, including those with additional needs.

Across the programme, we will reflect on how safeguarding leaders can adapt to trust growth and system reform, while ensuring that education plays an equal role in partnerships and that the voices of children remain at the centre of decision making.

Delegates will have the opportunity to engage with thought leadership and peer discussion, connect with colleagues from across the sector, and leave with strategies that can be applied directly within their trusts.
