🔒 Designed from KCSIE 2026 and Working Together to Safeguard Children – free to download.

Planning ongoing safeguarding training across a full academic year is one of those tasks that matters but rarely has dedicated time attached to it. This free safeguarding training planner gives you a half-termly framework to map your whole-school safeguarding CPD from September to July – without having to work out the sequencing yourself.

☑️ Six half-termly themes, each covering the key KCSIE topics relevant to that period of the year
☑️ Checklist-style layout so you can track what's been covered and what's still to come
☑️ Grounded in spaced practice – designed to keep staff knowledge active across the year, not just refreshed in September
☑️ Flexible – use it as written or adapt it to reflect your school's priorities and community context
☑️ Links to ready-made resources for each half-term so you can move straight from plan to delivery

Each half-term section explains not just what to cover but why that theme sits in that part of the year, so the rationale is built in if you need to explain your training plan to a headteacher, governor or inspector.

👉 Got the plan – now need the resources? The Safeguarding Training Pack – Full Year gives you everything on this planner, ready to deliver – training PowerPoints and full sets of scenarios, snapshots and quizzes for every half-term, aligned to KCSIE 2026.

The Prevent duty is a vital part of school safeguarding but how can school leaders and DSLs ensure staff are well trained on preventing radicalisation and that their school culture and practices stops radicalisation? This training audit and bundle does exactly that - use it to make all staff aware of their statutory responsibilities under the Prevent Duty and follow up your in-house training with handouts, quizzes and a safeguarding scenario. Additionally, use the risk assessment and audit tool to assess your current practices and make an action plan to keep pupils in your setting safe.
