Take a course in safeguarding and everything will be fine

A few days ago I received several promos for safeguarding*. I don't know what occasioned such a flurry, but the message was consistent. Take a course (or put your faculty through a course) and your worries / problems / risks will go away. Don't take a course and you are a neglectful / negligent / terrible human being. The thing is, courses do not safeguarding make. Instead, schools need to look at culture, and at staff and student supervision.
