Trust Safeguarding Professional Community

The CST Trust Safeguarding Professional Community is a unique development network for School Trust Safeguarding Leads to support effective safeguarding at scale.

The Professional Community provides support and development opportunities at a time of unprecedented change, through a blend of expert input on key practice challenges, facilitated discussion, and networking.

The Community provides a safe and supportive environment in which to develop your understanding of some of the key challenges related to operational practice across a group of schools, access expertise from across the sector, and build a professional network.

As a member of the community, you will also gain exclusive access to our virtual platform. CST Hive is a peer learning platform that connects you with a community of information, resources and support, that you can access anytime and anywhere. On the platform you'll find an ever-growing collection of resources, containing information about key knowledge areas needed in our profession, as well as a space to connect, learn and interact with your peers from across the country.

CST's Professional Communities focus on the concept of ‘practice challenges’ and engage through:

  • Half-termly virtual community meetings.
  • A one-day Professional Community conference.
  • Networking with colleagues across our sector.
  • Access to CST briefings and guidance.

Membership of the community is included for employees of member trusts as a benefit of CST membership. Join using the button below with your MyCST membership details.
