Winter Isle Safeguarding for Safeguarders

Self-Assessment Audit for Safeguarders 

 

For people who are employed to teach safeguarding, legally investigate allegations and provide on-going care solutions.  

 

Question 1: 

 

When investigating a case, how careful are you to ensure that only people on 'a need-to-know' basis are informed? 

 

A. Do you converse with schools by leaving messages on answer phones that the whole school and anyone outside can hear, with full details of what has and what you think has happened to the child? 

 

B. As a professional Safeguarder, do you phone a school after hours and start talking about descriptive ongoing incidents with someone you've never met, don't know and haven’t even asked their name? 

C. After being told not to talk about safeguarding information with someone you don't know and/or is not involved with the investigation, do you then continue to phone and leave very descriptive safeguarding information on the answerphone that in the wrong ears could be detrimental to either party. 

 

D. Do you only converse with people about allegations when you know it's a private conversation, only speaking to people on a need-to-know basis about safeguarding incidents, and never leave descriptive phone messages when you’re uncertain of the audience? 

 

If your answer is A, B or C please resign or don't apply for the job, you have no need to continue this audit. 

 

If your answer is D, please move on to the next question. 

 

 

Question 2:  

 

If the latest blockbuster movie portrays the reality of the 8 million children that go missing each year, many of which get farmed for sex or adrenochrome, why do you think it doesn't apply to your county. 

 

A. We have thorough safeguarding training here so staff would spot warning signs 

B. There's no proof of this happening in the local area 

C. I enjoy filibustering whilst safeguarding training! 

D. It goes against my narrative 

E. It does, and I should have included it 

 

If your answer is A, B, C or D please resign (or don't apply) 

 

If your answer is E, please go on to the next question 

Question 3: 

 

If you're the Counties Safeguarding Training Provider and you know someone in a different sector organised and participated in the abuse of an unimaginable number of children (that half the town know about), for over five decades, in the middle of a 20,000 town that you're hosting the 'training' to -  

Why do you not include that type of abuse in your seminar, in relation to types of abuse to look out for? 

 

A. Truth will disturb society even more. 

B. That's way above my remit 

C. We're not allowed to 

D. It should be alright now he's been caught 

E. I honestly haven't been told about it 

 

If your answer is A, B, C or D please resign or don't apply for the job. 

 

If your answer is E, I'll believe you this time, so please go on to the next question 

 
 

 

 

Question 4.  

 

When a manager who lived all his life in the area is given a life sentence, for crimes over five decades of organising and participating in the sexual abuse of an unimaginable number of young children - how do you move forward? 

 

A. Carry on as if nothing had happened, so allowing the culture of abuse to continue. 

 

B. When someone tells you of the case, act in shock and suspicion - as you know that information will not be published for another 60 years! 

 

C. Join the rest of the women 'in power' in your neighbourhood and help fund raise to knock down most of the five decades of sexual abuse site, to turn it into a 'memorabilia and relaxation area'!! 

 

D. Carry on Safeguarding as if nothing has happened, which includes pretending that the sexual abuse of children in your area (in your lifetime) is 3/100 when it's at least 150/100!!  

 

E. Campaign for honesty, clarity and transparency in your job; as you surely don't want to spend your life safeguarding only to find out you've been nothing but a liability to all children you've been responsible for. 

 

If your answer is A, B, C. or D please resign or don't apply for the job. 

 

If your answer is E, Congratulations you'll be rewarded by either a huge promotion or being employed for the job. Thank you so much for your maturity you're a one in million morally mature human being :)
