🔒 Fully in line with KCSIE 2025 and the 2025 Education Inspection Framework

This Single Central Record (SCR) Compliance Bundle gives DSLs, headteachers and school leaders a practical toolkit for checking safer recruitment and record-keeping processes against Part 3 of Keeping Children Safe in Education. Whether you're preparing for inspection or conducting routine compliance checks, these templates help you identify gaps quickly and document your findings clearly.

You'll get:

☑️ Single Central Record (SCR) Overview Checklist – conduct whole-record checks to verify you're recording information about the correct people (staff members, trainee teachers, agency and third-party workers, volunteers and contractors), confirm the right checks have been completed for each role (enhanced DBS checks, children's barred list checks, Section 128 checks, right to work in the UK checks and other statutory and recommended checks), and identify any missing dates or information

☑️ Single Central Record (SCR) Spot Check Template – triangulate your SCR evidence by comparing records against personnel files, identify discrepancies between your SCR and actual documentation, and document your findings clearly for governors and inspectors

All templates are fully editable Word documents so you can adapt them for your school's specific context and reuse them throughout the year to maintain compliance.

This safeguarding training calendar is designed to help you plot safeguarding training topics across the school year to allow a drip-feed approach, rather than relying on only delivering safeguarding CPD in one session during September INSET. Designed from the latest Keeping Children Safe in Education, the training calendar offers suggestions of what you could cover in each term, including abuse, neglect, exploitation, child-on-child abuse, extremism and radicalisation, harmful practices, staff safeguarding duties and more.

While the safeguarding training topics are organised into terms, you can - and should - use calendar flexibly based on the unique needs of your pupils and setting by ticking off when you've covered a certain theme. Should you wish to take a particular safeguarding issue further, helpful resources are linked into the calendar to deepen your safeguarding training offer for your staff. And best of all? This resource is free!

👉Looking for more safeguarding support? We've got a wealth of resources, from training bundles on individual safeguarding issues and safeguarding scenarios, to full packs covering all your safeguarding CPD needs for the Autumn, Spring and Summer term, as well as KCSIE updates and Prevent Duty training, plus support for DSLs and safeguarding governors.

Dealing with complaints - whether from parents, carers or community members - can be one of the most challenging aspects of school leadership. With vexatious complaints against schools and the number of instances of parents complaining on the rise, headteachers and SLT need ways of managing complaints and, crucially, preventing complaints from occurring when possible.

This checklist is designed to do exactly that and allows school leaders to review their processes in order to prevent complaints from parents but also to manage legitimate complaints carefully. It covers the following key areas:

• Complaint prevention
• What to do following the receipt of a school complaint
• Complaint investigation
• Complaint resolution
• Managing persistent, serial and vexatious complaints

Use the checklist to evaluate your current position when it comes to school concerns and complaints, such as how effectively you build and manage relationships with parents/carers and your use of communication to maintain a culture of mutual respect in school. This can help you to identify areas to develop to bolster your efforts in maintaining strong relationships and addressing concerns before they develop into a bigger issue, thus helping to prevent complaints from forming.

When complaints do occur, the checklist can support you to think about your processes in order to listen, investigate and respond to complaints in order to find a resolution for all parties. It also allows you to consider your complaints policy and whether the details in it support you, as a school leader, to deal with complaints, including complaints that are persistent, serial or vexatious. 

This flexible pack is perfect for safeguarding link governors or anyone looking to support a safeguarding governor with their role, such as headteachers, trust leaders, governance professionals, DSLs or a chair of governors. With three comprehensive, editable resources - a safeguarding audit for governors, a safeguarding report to governors template and a safeguarding link governor roles and responsibilities document - this pack will support governors who are new to role or in cases where the safeguarding governor needs more structure and support in order to be highly effective in their role.

When abuse or neglect is an identified safeguarding concern, DSLs often need a bank of flexible training resources they can use in staff meetings, briefings or CPD sessions. This set focuses entirely on abuse and neglect safeguarding training, helping staff recognise and respond to physical, emotional and sexual abuse, as well as neglect.

☑️ 6 safeguarding scenarios covering physical, emotional and sexual abuse plus neglect
☑️ 5 one‑minute guides to share as e‑bulletins or quick refreshers
☑️ 1 quick quiz to check staff confidence and understanding

Unlike a single‑session training bundle, this themed safeguarding set gives you a bank of scenarios, quizzes and guides to revisit over time and build confidence across your team, all aligned with KCSIE 2025.

When safeguarding risks are linked to a child’s home life, DSLs often need focused training materials they can draw on quickly to build staff awareness. This set provides safeguarding in the home training resources that help staff recognise and respond to domestic abuse, restrictive parenting, familial sexual abuse and wider home‑based vulnerabilities.

☑️ 3 safeguarding scenarios exploring domestic abuse, emotional abuse and familial sexual abuse
☑️ 5 one‑minute guides on key home‑linked safeguarding risks
☑️ 1 safeguarding quiz to check staff knowledge and prompt discussion

Rather than a single‑session training bundle, this themed set gives you a flexible bank of scenarios, quick reference guides and a realistic quiz you can revisit over time. It’s ideal for safeguarding CPD when concerns in the home environment are a priority and you need to build staff confidence across primary or secondary settings.
