Example of Facilitator Slides This slide deck is one example of slides that school personnel can use when they facilitate a student engagement session related to safeguarding. The introduction covers key areas such as consent, confidentiality and anonymity. The questions and activities were designed by the International Taskforce on Child Protection, Student Voice Committee, to enable it to gather students views on how their school consults with them on safeguarding matters. Schools should design engagement sessions that suit their own context and needs, drawing on this slide deck only if they find it helpful to do so.
Student Engagement Session 1 [Title] Focus Group 1: [campus, grades]
Purpose This project is exploring how schools can do a better job of involving students in creating safe cultures in schools and protecting students from harm. Throughout our two sessions together, we would like your views on how schools can do a better job of listening to student views about keeping you safe. We are carrying out x number of sessions. The facilitator of each session will prepare a written record and the school s child protection committee will review these and prepare recommendations for how we can improve how we involve students in safeguarding in our school to keep them safe. If you would like to see the report let us know at the end of our sessions.
