Welcome back to the new academic year! We’ve been busy all summer developing a new training programme to help you keep up with all the new legislation, ensure compliance and and implement effective practice around safeguarding.
As you are aware, ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ has just been updated (September 2019) – so we have commissioned brand new translations of KCSIE Part 1, to reflect the latest changes and updates, to be available mid-September in 11 key community languages. You can download the current versions now at: kcsietranslate.lgfl.net
As well as providing expert training for safeguarding leads, schools must also ensure they keep ALL other staff up to date with developments – this includes the new guidance document ‘Teaching online safety in school’ (DfE, June 2019), and the new curriculum guidance for Relationships education, relationships and sex education (RSE) and health education,mandatory from September 2020. Did you know that the new RSHE (RSE/PSHE) curriculum has 66 mentions of staying safe online?
To help you prepare, sign yourself or a relevant staff member up to our new courses – all at no cost, and delivered by some of the country’s leading experts:
