DAC 130/20 - DE - Safer Schools App

The Department of Education require access to the safeguarding app as this provides information and messaging on a full range of safeguarding and child protection issues with tailored versions of the app for teachers, parents as well as children & young people (separate primary and post primary versions). This app has significantly increased the Department’s communications with schools, pupils and parents and enables schools to communicate directly with specific groups, link directly to the latest Government guidance, for example on COVID -19 and complement our existing social media accounts.
