What's included in this bundle?
Created from content in KCSIE 2024, this helpful bundle contains five resources that work together to create a full training package about safeguarding and sexual abuse.
1. Staff Training Presentation - Sexual Abuse: A ready-to-deliver 23-slide PowerPoint presentation that outlines the signs and indicators of sexual abuse, followed by slides that allow staff to consider and discuss what puts pupils at greater risk, other factors to be aware of and what actions they should take. Information and a discussion point about the recent developments in AI-generated imagery are also included. The presentation has built in discussion questions and finishes with the choice of two scenarios and a quiz to check staff understanding about sexual abuse.
2. Scenario - Sexual Abuse (Adult Perpetrators) / Sexual Abuse (Familial Threat): Two editable scenarios that outline fictional situations where sexual abuse is occurring. It also includes full commentary and guided considerations for the DSL or staff member leading the child protection training. Use them to gauge how effectively staff can identify the signs of abuse as well as how they'd respond in a real-life context, including further actions they'd take.
3. Quiz and Discussion - Sexual Abuse: There are five challenging multiple choice quiz questions that test your staff members' understanding of sexual abuse, plus a discussion prompt that can be used to kickstart your training session or as a follow-up question a few weeks later.
4. Safeguarding Snapshot - Sexual Abuse: This one-page, one-minute guide is perfect for following up the session by using as a training handout, displaying in your staff-only spaces or sending as part of a safeguarding e-bulletin.
The pack is purposefully designed to be flexible to suit your busy school. You could deliver the training in one slot by utilising the presentation, scenario, quiz and snapshot together. Alternatively, deliver the initial CPD by using the presentation, then use the scenario and quiz questions in later staff meetings or future safeguarding training sessions, with the snapshot used as a reminder of the training content.
However you choose to use this bundle, it'll enhance your in-house safeguarding training and allow you and your team to continue working together to keep your pupils safe from harm.
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 the training contents 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.
Who will find this resource useful?
This pack is ideal for a designated safeguarding lead (DSL), deputy DSL or anyone else in a school who's responsible for delivering safeguarding and child protection training. Use as part of your existing safeguarding training offer or when you've identified a staff CPD need. It's also helpful to use in small group sessions where staff might need more direct input, such as when training teaching assistants, lunch-time supervisors, breakfast- and after-school club staff and other members of support staff.
What questions does this pack have the answers to?
This pack will support you to upskill your staff members' knowledge about the safeguarding issue of sexual abuse, including answering the following questions:
- What is sexual abuse?
- What types of acts constitute sexual abuse?
- What are the signs and indicators of sexual abuse?
- What puts pupils at greater risk of sexual abuse?
- Why can it be challenging for pupils to disclose sexual abuse?

They're designed to complement each other and between them, cover Part 1 and Annex B of KCSIE 2024.
