Book Kate To Speak At Your Event

I’m Kate Flounders — a solicitor, safeguarding specialist, and passionate communicator on all things legal, practical, and procedural in the safeguarding world.

For over two decades, I’ve worked at the sharp end of public law, child protection, and multi-agency decision-making. As Principal Solicitor for Safeguarding in a busy London borough, Independent Chair of multiple safeguarding boards, and founder of the Safeguarding Association, I’ve supported professionals at every level to navigate complex safeguarding systems with clarity and confidence.

I speak on topics ranging from how to make safeguarding law make sense (yes, it’s possible!) to handling complex post-16 cases and understanding your responsibilities when the rules feel grey or contradictory. I’m known for translating dry legal frameworks into practical tools — and for helping people breathe a sigh of relief when they realise they’re not alone in finding this stuff hard.

My style is warm, clear, and always rooted in real-world experience. Whether I’m addressing a room of frontline staff or senior leaders, I make the complex feel manageable — and even engaging. If you’re looking for a speaker who understands the challenges your team faces and delivers both expertise and reassurance, I’d love to talk.
