Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) states that all staff within education facilities should receive safeguarding and child protection training at induction and have annual updates to ensure staff are equipped with the relevant skills and knowledge to safeguard children effectively.

When it comes to Ofsted (or other equivalent inspecting body) inspections, your whole school will lose crucial marks if staff do not have up to date Safeguarding training certificates. Whether you’re teaching part-time, working in the admin offices, or locking the gates at the end of the day, you are still required to have up to date, verifiable safeguarding training.

This course will enable you to recognise signs of abuse, neglect and other harms that might indicate a problem, and how to take appropriate action.

Covers the fundamentals of safeguarding and protection
Created in 2022, in line with latest UK Govt. guidance
Meets safeguarding objectives as specified by inspecting bodies
