Safeguarding Support
Through our extensive experience and deep understanding of safeguarding in schools we can help you develop a highly effective safeguarding culture. Ensuring the safety and well-being of all pupils is of paramount importance in all educational institutions.We understand how it encompasses measures and policies designed to protect children from harm, abuse, and neglect, whilst also promoting their health, development, and welfare. Creating an environment where everyone feels secure, valued, and respected, fostering a positive atmosphere conducive to learning and personal growth is key in making safeguarding practices effective. Let us work with you to devleop your own holistic safeguarding practice, which goes beyond just compliance.
Hub Support
This is one of our most exciting packages, designed to support and strengthen the hub model of school improvement. As part of this offer, your school will also be welcomed into the wider Melhoria family. This gives both your school and your hub access to bespoke CPD sessions, reduced‑rate CPD opportunities, online resources, and the collective expertise of all schools across the Melhoria network.
We know that leadership in schools is demanding, and the current landscape—spanning academies and LA‑maintained schools—can feel complex to navigate. This model provides a positive and practical way forward, offering connection, shared expertise, and high‑quality support for leaders at every stage.
Leadership and Governance Packages
Collaborating with schools to drive improvement is a multifaceted endeavour that requires a strategic, inclusive, and people‑centred approach. We are here to support you every step of the way. Whether you are part of a trust or a maintained school, joining Melhoria means becoming part of our family.
By embracing collaborative and innovative ways of working, schools can create an environment that nurtures continuous growth and improvement—ultimately benefiting every student.
We offer a range of packages, but we always recommend a bespoke approach tailored to your school’s unique context and priorities. Please do get in touch if you would like to explore how we can work together.
“As a Multi-Academy Trust, Mosaic Partnership utilise the services of Judith Tinsley through a package of Safeguarding. We made the decision to use an external provider given the importance of independent scrutiny, guidance, advice and support in this area and can testify to an excellent working relationship. The quality of advice, knowledge of statutory responsibilities and understanding of legislation is excellent in the work that Judith undertakes for us. Her support to DSLs in supervision has been of a very high quality and feedback from school leaders is that this is a partnership with an external partner we truly value and gain so much from. Her work with us centrally ensuring we have robust systems, processes and compliance is also invaluable.”
