Why it matters

What this collection is for.

01

It is statutory guidance, not advice

Everyone working in a school in England must read and follow Keeping Children Safe in Education. Governing bodies have to be able to show that staff have.

02

Ofsted looks at the record

Safeguarding training dates and coverage are among the first things asked for. A per-person report answers it directly.

03

Allegations against staff need their own route

One course deals specifically with allegations against adults working with children, which schools handle rarely and therefore badly.

Who it is for

All school staff
Designated safeguarding leads
Governors and trustees
Support and site staff

Questions

Before you ask us.

Is this current with the latest KCSIE?

The collection is built around KCSIE, which the Department for Education updates annually — usually for September. Check the course dates against the current edition before your inspection window, and tell us if a course needs refreshing.

Does it cover Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland?

KCSIE applies to England. For the other nations use the general Safeguarding collection and add your national guidance.
