Make the role of DSL in school/colleges standalone with no other responsibility
Rejected

What the petition asks
TSA are calling for the role of the DSL to become a standalone role in schools/colleges. It is unfeasible to think that this fundamental role in keeping children safe in education can be fulfilled as a bolt on to any other role, especially whilst maintaining a teaching timetable.
TSA are increasingly seeing DSL’s becoming professionally burnt out, desensitised, & professionally blinded due to a lack of capacity, & this is putting children at risk.
Why it was rejected
It was created under a fake or incomplete name.
