Safeguarding in the Home: Themed Safeguarding Set
Safeguarding in the Home: Themed Safeguarding Set
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.

What's included in this bundle?
You get a set of editable and ready‑to‑use resources to help you deliver safeguarding in the home training and keep staff alert to risks beyond the classroom.
☑️ Safeguarding scenarios
These editable Word documents give you realistic safeguarding situations to discuss with staff. Each one is written to work in both primary and secondary settings, making them easy to adapt to your school context. They help you explore different aspects of abuse and neglect in depth:
- Domestic Abuse – recognising patterns of harm and how to respond
- Emotional Abuse (Restrictive Parenting) – exploring the impact of overly controlling parenting on a child’s wellbeing
- Sexual Abuse (Familial Threat) – understanding the signs and risks of sexual abuse within a family context
☑️Safeguarding one‑minute guides (snapshots)
Quick reference guides (PDF) to use in briefings or as e‑bulletins. These cover key home‑linked safeguarding risks and reinforce what staff need to look for:
- Domestic Abuse
- Homelessness
- Private Fostering
- Child Abduction & Community Safety Incidents
- Young Carers
☑️ Quick quiz
The Types of Abuse and Neglect Quick Quiz is a 10‑question, editable multiple‑choice safeguarding quiz designed to check staff understanding of the main forms of abuse and neglect. The questions are realistic and have no easy answers, helping staff think critically about how home‑based risks present and how to respond appropriately. Suitable for both primary and secondary staff teams.
The scenarios in this set are also available to purchase individually and as part of specific single‑issue safeguarding training bundles.
Who will find this resource useful?
This resource is designed for designated safeguarding leads, deputy DSLs, child protection leads and CPD coordinators who need flexible materials to train staff on home‑linked safeguarding risks. It supports anyone with day‑to‑day responsibility for safeguarding to strengthen staff confidence in recognising and responding to domestic abuse, emotional harm and familial sexual abuse.
Headteachers, senior leaders and trust safeguarding leads can also use this set to plan and evidence whole‑school safeguarding CPD. The combination of scenarios, one‑minute guides and a safeguarding quiz makes it easy to integrate into staff meetings, briefings or strategic training plans focused on home‑based vulnerabilities.
What questions does this pack have the answers to?
- How confident are our staff in recognising signs of domestic abuse or familial sexual abuse?
- Do staff understand how restrictive parenting can constitute emotional abuse?
- Are we giving staff practical safeguarding scenarios to test their response to home‑based risks?
- How can we use quick, focused CPD to keep awareness of safeguarding in the home high throughout the year?
