Janice Ratcliffe

I have extensive experience working in the educational arena and safeguarding field.

I have over 25 years of teaching experience, teaching in areas such as Chester, inner-city Newcastle and Manchester.

I spent a number of years in charge of safeguarding and child protection as part of my role as Deputy Headteacher and Acting Headteacher in primary schools in Newcastle- upon-Tyne and Trafford.

In 2016, my business partner -who is a retired police detective - and I set up our own safeguarding consultancy business.

We have extensive experience working within the police and teaching profession and this has helped form our passionate held conviction that fellow professionals need to receive the training that sees them equipped with the correct up to date knowledge of safeguarding legislation in order to ensure that children are kept as safe as possible.
