🔒 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.
