This pack is designed for designated safeguarding leads (DSLs), deputy DSLs, child protection leads and anyone responsible for delivering safeguarding and child protection training in school. It supports you to provide statutory‑aligned CPD for all staff, making it particularly relevant for DSLs who oversee ongoing training across the academic year. Senior leaders, including headteachers and deputy heads, can also use the resources to ensure whole‑school safeguarding responsibilities are consistently understood and embedded.

For headteachers, trust leaders and other members of the senior leadership team, the pack offers a clear way to monitor and strengthen safeguarding culture across your setting. It can help you plan termly CPD, evaluate staff confidence in recognising and responding to concerns, and evidence your approach to Ofsted and governors when reviewing safeguarding practice.

Paragraph 12 of Keeping Children Safe in Education states:

“In addition [to receiving safeguarding training at induction], all staff should receive safeguarding and child protection (including online safety) updates (for example, via email, e-bulletins, and staff meetings), as required, and at least annually, to continue to provide them with relevant skills and knowledge to safeguard children effectively.”

This is why we’ve designed such a comprehensive training pack. Rather than delivering a single large training session to staff at the start of term where a long period of time can pass before safeguarding training is addressed again, this pack allows safeguarding leads to provide short, sharp bursts of incremental training that keeps staff knowledge fresh and puts safeguarding aspects at the forefront.  

For monitoring and quality assurance purposes, offering a drip-feed approach to safeguarding training is a great way to show that you’re constantly preparing staff to act if a safeguarding issue does arise, ensuring pupils are kept safe from harm.

The pack can help answer the following questions you may have:

• How can we plan and deliver ongoing safeguarding CPD that covers the whole academic year?
• What’s the simplest way to run KCSIE 2025 refresher training and follow this up across the year?
• Which safeguarding scenarios and case studies will help staff recognise and respond to different forms of abuse and neglect?
• How do we build staff confidence to identify concerns such as child-on-child abuse, exploitation and online harms?
• What resources can we use to make safeguarding INSET and termly staff meetings more practical and discussion-based?
• How can we sequence autumn, spring and summer safeguarding sessions so training is spaced and reinforced across the year?
• What safeguarding quizzes and one‑minute guides can we use to check staff understanding after training sessions?
• How do we make sure our training covers complex areas like fabricated illness, honour‑based abuse and contextual safeguarding?
• Which posters and visual reminders will help reinforce safeguarding messages across the school site?
• How can we ensure staff explore safeguarding issues in realistic, age‑appropriate contexts?
• What’s the best way for DSLs to evidence staff safeguarding training for Ofsted and governors?
• How can headteachers and senior leaders use termly CPD to monitor and strengthen whole‑school safeguarding culture?
• What practical tools can help DSLs and deputies plan statutory training without spending hours creating resources from scratch?
• How can we make safeguarding training engaging and relevant while staying fully aligned with KCSIE 2025?
