Safeguarding Scenarios Bundle 2

There’s no guidance included in this resource bundle - just the following editable scenarios written from the latest 2024 KCSIE that cover 12 different safeguarding aspects:

1. Emotional Abuse (Mistreatment, Language and Bullying)
2. Physical Abuse (Fabricated Illness)
3. Child-on-Child Abuse (Abuse in Intimate Relationships)
4. Child-on-Child Abuse (Sexual Violence)
5. Online Safety (Sexual Harassment)
6. Youth-Produced Sexual Imagery (Sexting / Consensual Sharing of Nude and Semi-Nude Images and/or Videos)
7. Child Criminal Exploitation (County Lines)
8. Initiation and Hazing Type Violence and Rituals
9. Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE)
10. Children Absent from Education and Children Missing Education (CME)
11. Staff Concerns (Dismissing Child-On-Child Abuse)
12. Staff Concerns (Intimate Care)

Each scenario contains the details of a fictional situation that schools might face linked to safeguarding. These can be explored with staff members to ensure they understand the safeguarding issue that’s being presented to them and how you'd expect them to react based on your school’s policies and procedures. As DSL or safeguarding lead, there’s an opportunity for you to then follow up on any areas that weren’t identified.

Additionally, each scenario contains safeguarding scenario answers and guided considerations for the DSL with areas they may wish to discuss, including what concerns and signs staff should recognise and what other areas of safeguarding should be considered.

The templates are fully editable, so you can change names or details to better suit your staff needs or context. To make best use out of the scenarios, we’d suggest only sharing the scenario itself with staff - by doing this, you can check staff understand the safeguarding training they’ve been provided already and gauge how they’d respond if this situation occurred in your setting.

Please note the following disclaimer attached to this resource bundle: These resources address potentially sensitive and/or distressing subjects and are intended to be used for training purposes only. They may also contain strong language as well as terms, themes and content that depict child abuse, neglect and exploitation. All of this could elicit emotional responses and be triggering for staff using them. You must fully read each scenarios before use and it is your duty to carefully assess their appropriateness based on your staff and your context. If you deem each one to be suitable, you must ensure that adequate support is accessible for anyone who may be impacted by the content.

DSLs, deputy DSLs or anyone with responsibility for safeguarding and child protection will find this bundle useful.

There's no guidance in this bundle - just the scenarios which can help you to train staff on safeguarding using real-life situations.

Termly safeguarding training packs are available. Each pack contains scenarios like these, plus quick quizzes, safeguarding snapshots and tailored training timetables. They're designed to complement each other and between them, cover Part 1 and Annex B of KCSIE 2024. This allows you to enhance your current safeguarding training offer and drip-feed training across the year, rather than attempting to cover it all in one session during an inset day.
