UAESafeguarding Assured UAEby BVPSkills
Independent safeguarding assurance for UAE schools

Ready for inspection, and ready for what is coming

Your regulators, KHDA, ADEK and SPEA, inspect safeguarding hard under the Unified Inspection Framework and expect a trained Designated Safeguarding Lead in post. Wadeema's Law places a reporting duty on everyone entrusted with the care or education of a child. And the new Child Digital Safety Law is raising the bar on online safety across the country. That is a great deal to hold at once. I can help you carry it.

I am Barbara Veeramallay-Permaul, an independent Designated Safeguarding Lead. I work in the framework your British-curriculum school already uses, Keeping Children Safe in Education, and I help schools turn safeguarding from something that feels heavy before an inspection into lived, evidenced practice. Safeguarding Assured UAE brings that same independent, practical support to schools here, mapped to your regulators and to UAE law.

Why independent

Safeguarding assurance is not a course you buy and file away. It is a person who has read everything, who welcomes hard questions, and who stays alongside you until the work is done. That is what an independent adviser brings that an off-the-shelf package cannot.
Start with a conversation

No obligation, and no pressure. If safeguarding assurance is on your agenda this year, it does not have to be faced alone.
