Designed from the most up-to-date information in the 2025 KCSIE, each snapshot covers the key signs and indicators of that particular safeguarding issue. They detail which groups of pupils could be at more risk and other factors that staff should be aware of. They end with suggested actions to get staff thinking about how they can prevent harm and keep children safe. 

DSLs and safeguarding leads can use the snapshots in a variety of ways, such as:

• Sending them in e-bulletins or regular safeguarding newsletters
• Displaying them on staff room notice boards
• Displaying them in the staff toilets on the back of cubicle doors
• Placing them on the intranet, learning management system or other internal network
• Creating a pack of them
• Sharing them in regular meetings

This can help to reinforce messages from the safeguarding training you’ve already delivered and it keeps safeguarding at the forefront of staff members' minds. For monitoring and quality assurance purposes, it’s also a great way to show that you’re delivering regular updates to staff.

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 snapshot  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 snapshots which can help to support your safeguarding training efforts.

Termly safeguarding training packs are available. Each pack contains snapshots like these, plus quick quizzes, safeguarding scenarios and tailored training timetables. They're designed to complement each other and between them, cover Part 1 and Annex B of KCSIE. 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.
