What's in this free KCSIE 2026 update pack?

This focused, ready-to-deliver resource includes two documents:

☑️ KCSIE 2026 Updates Information Sharing Session (PowerPoint) – a 13-slide presentation covering the key changes to Part One of Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026. Each slide is structured around a specific update, with discussion prompts built in so staff can consider what each change means for your setting. Slides cover:

Terminology updates, including the new language around self-generated intimate images, honour and faith-based abuse and child-on-child abuse (including harassment and violence)
Updates to the definitions and indicators of emotional and sexual abuse
Changes to the child-on-child abuse section, including the addition of serious physical assault and harm, strengthened misogyny references and new reporting expectations
Updated child exploitation guidance, including the explicit link between CCE/CSE and modern slavery and the reframed consent language
The substantially rewritten serious violence section, including the removal of the previous indicator list and the new emphasis on early, evidence-based support
Updated mental health and safeguarding guidance, including clarification that mental health problems can, in some cases, develop into safeguarding concerns
New vulnerable groups added in 2026, including children repeatedly removed from the classroom and children on a part-time timetable
The new KCSIE 2026 clarification that safeguarding issues often overlap

☑️ KCSIE 2026 Updates Sheet (PDF) – a two-page printable document summarising all the key changes to KCSIE 2026, including Part One and Part Two updates. Use it as a staff handout during or after the session, share it with governors or keep it as a reference document when planning your annual safeguarding refresher.

👉 Need full refresher training instead? The KCSIE 2026 Annual Safeguarding Refresher Training Pack covers the entirety of KCSIE Part One and the follow-up resource help you ensure your safeguarding training sticks.

Who is this free KCSIE 2026 briefing resource for?

This free resource is designed for DSLs, deputy DSLs and any school leader responsible for keeping staff informed about changes to statutory safeguarding guidance. It's particularly useful if:

You already have a safeguarding INSET provider or your own established training materials (including Honeyguide's own KCSIE 2026 refresher pack), and you want a quick, reliable way to top up staff awareness of the 2026 changes specifically
You're using it as a short briefing in a staff or governor meeting rather than a full training session
You want to share the KCSIE 2026 updates with staff who need additional support to understand all the safeguarding content in KCSIE
You're curious about the quality of Honeyguide's safeguarding materials before purchasing the full training pack – this session is built to the same standard, so it gives you a clear sense of what to expect

It's worth being clear about what this resource is not: it does not cover the full content of Part One of KCSIE 2026, the four types of abuse in depth, staff responsibilities around reporting and recording, safeguarding scenarios or quiz questions. For that level of training, the KCSIE 2026 Annual Safeguarding Refresher Training covers everything your staff need for their annual statutory update, including a complete ready-to-deliver INSET presentation, facilitator notes, scenarios, a quiz and a full suite of training records.

What questions does this KCSIE 2026 update session help answer?

This resource helps you tackle the most common questions DSLs face at the start of the new academic year.

"What has actually changed in KCSIE 2026?"
The KCSIE 2026 Updates Sheet covers every significant change across Part One and Part Two of the guidance, clearly summarised and easy to scan. The PowerPoint focuses on the Part One changes most relevant to all staff.

"How do I communicate the KCSIE 2026 changes to staff without building a session from scratch?"
Open the PowerPoint, read the slide content and deliver. The session structure and discussion prompts are already there – you just need to contextualise them for your setting.

"What's new in KCSIE this year that staff specifically need to know about?"
The session covers every update to Part One that affects how staff recognise, respond to and report safeguarding concerns – from the new language around self-generated intimate images to the expanded child-on-child abuse section and the updated mental health guidance.

"Can I use this with governors and volunteers as well as teaching staff?"
Yes. The session is written to be accessible to all adults working in school, not just those with a training background. The Updates Sheet is particularly useful as a governor briefing document.
