Have you heard of the Global Safeguarding Collaborative? They offer a wealth of resources to support safeguarding in international schools and beyond. With a highly engaged and busy community, it’s a great place to ask questions, share experiences, and get advice on all sorts of safeguarding-related topics. Whether you're looking for best practices, policy guidance, or real-world insights, the Collaborative is a valuable space for learning and support. 

I especially recommend signing up to their Google Group.
