Since 2019, The Global Safeguarding Collaborative (GSC) has been connecting safeguarding leaders and child protection advocates across more than 220 schools around the world. As described in our Charter, the GSC was founded to be a supportive and highly personalised collaborative network where safeguarding leaders can learn and grow alongside each other. Working together, Global Safeguarding Collaborative members are committed to being non-judgmental, understanding and empathetic. To foster this sense of inclusion and vulnerability, we actively encourage members to connect with each other through email, video chats, sharing of resources, and direct contact. In doing so, we strive to intentionally create an adaptive group, unique in its culture of care, that exists for and is able to respond to the changing needs of its members.
