Nicole Diamond

My name is Nicole Diamond and I'm the Child Protection Lead for schools in Hillingdon and the Deputy LADO. I am a qualified Social Worker and have worked in various roles in Children & Families services for the past 20 years including in Hillingdon from 2018-22 as a senior social worker.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch to discuss any safeguarding queries or to explore any support I might be able to offer.

How I can help ....

• Provide advice to schools around child protection and safeguarding concerns.

• Share my training resources with DLS to support in their own delivery of training, e.g., Level 1 Safeguarding for All School Staff presentation/slides.

• Offer weekly reflective sessions and CP consultations for DSLs and relevant staff for specific families.

• Organise DSL forums/network meetings every half term where DSLs from across the borough come together as a chance to meet and share learning. Guest speakers are invited to offer training or to engage with schools to improve practice. Local borough updates are shared. Please see dates: Safeguarding / DSL Training & Events Calendar

• I am the Deputy LADO which means I support the LADO in her role 2 days a week and I am available to provide advice and guidance.
