What's in this Safeguarding Ofsted Updates Pack?

This updates pack equips you with everything needed to understand Ofsted's 2025 School Inspection Toolkit safeguarding requirements and brief your leadership team, staff and governors on the changes. Each resource is designed to eliminate research time and support confident implementation of the updated inspection criteria.

You'll get:

☑️ Safeguarding Staff & Governor Update Briefing PowerPoint (26 slides)
Your ready-made presentation addressing all safeguarding aspects under the 2025 toolkit. Ideal for whole-staff training, DSL team meetings, INSET sessions or governor briefings. Coverage includes

  • Factors contribute most strongly to effective safeguarding practice
  • How to use Ofsted's toolkit as a quality benchmark
  • Leadership of safeguarding, including establishing an open and positive safeguarding culture
  • Safeguarding information for all staff to know and act on
  • Management of safeguarding
  • Safer recruitment
  • Child-on-child violence
  • Significant changes between the old framework and 2025 toolkit

☑️ Understanding Ofsted's Toolkit for Safeguarding (PDF)
An accessible guide that translates the new inspection criteria into practical leadership considerations for DSLs and safeguarding teams – far more digestible than navigating the full toolkit document independently.

☑️ Ofsted Framework Comparison Document (PDF)
Detailed side-by-side analysis highlighting exactly what's changed from the previous Education Inspection Framework and handbook to the 2025 Ofsted toolkit. Identifies new requirements, removed elements and areas requiring renewed focus.

☑️ Leader Action Checklist
Strategic planning resource to help you work through the changes systematically. Rather than auditing current provision, this checklist supports thinking about change management, next steps, key personnel to involve and strategic priorities to address.

☑️ Editable Grade Descriptor Grid
Customisable version of the 2025 safeguarding toolkit requirements for your DSL team and senior leaders to reference, annotate and use for self-evaluation.

All documents (except the PDFs) are provided in editable formats so you can tailor them to your school's safeguarding arrangements and staff training requirements.

Who should use this Safeguarding Ofsted Updates Pack?

This updates pack is designed for safeguarding leaders who need to understand and cascade Ofsted's 2025 School Inspection Toolkit requirements across their schools. It's particularly valuable for:

  • Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs)
  • Deputy DSLs
  • Headteachers and deputy heads with safeguarding oversight
  • Child protection coordinators
  • Safeguarding governors
  • Trust safeguarding leads
  • School business managers supporting safer recruitment
  • SLT members responsible for staff training and culture

Senior leadership teams and multi-academy trust executives can use the pack to ensure consistent understanding of the updated inspection expectations, train governors on the changes and maintain robust safeguarding arrangements.

How can this pack help school leaders prepare for Ofsted's updated safeguarding requirements?

This comprehensive updates pack addresses the most common challenges DSLs and safeguarding leaders face when inspection frameworks are updated:

How can I brief staff and governors on Ofsted's 2025 safeguarding requirements?

The 26-slide PowerPoint provides a structured, comprehensive briefing you can deliver at staff meetings, INSET sessions or governor training without spending hours creating materials from scratch.

What's actually different between the old EIF and the 2025 School Inspection Toolkit for safeguarding?

The comparison document identifies precisely what's new, what's been emphasised differently and where you need to focus your attention, saving you from line-by-line analysis of lengthy documents.

How can I ensure our school meets the updated inspection criteria for safeguarding?

The toolkit guide clarifies exactly what inspectors will be evaluating, whilst the action checklist supports strategic planning. For comprehensive self-evaluation against the new requirements, the Safeguarding Audit Pack provides detailed audit tools.

How can I save time researching the 2025 safeguarding inspection changes?

Rather than working through complex toolkit documents independently, these ready-made briefing materials and digestible guides get your leadership team up to speed efficiently.
