Safeguarding Briefing - 23rd May 2022

Safeguarding Briefing - 23rd May 2022

Dear ,

Keeping Children Safe in Education for September 2022

On Friday, the new version of Keeping Children Safe in Education was published. The version is purely for information purposes and there is no expectation that any of the changes are to be implemented before the autumn term. Before the final version is published there are sometimes slight changes, in particular to paragraph numbers (so watch out if you quote them in your policy!)

In the past there have been some big changes, but not this year. This is a KCSIE with relatively small tweaks and additional paragraphs, although I think several of these are significant.

I've created a 30-minute video looking at all the changes which you can find here: safeguarding.link/kcsie2022
(This link will be available for free until 30th May 2022.)

Advanced Safeguarding for DSLs

This is a four-session course for DSLs over a full-day. The course is offered live and as a recorded replay. When the course is live, there are plenty of opportunities to contribute with observations, questions or answers. As a recording, the interactions from other people are included and feedback notes that this makes it feel like you are not on your own.

"I came to a session in Birmingham back in 2019 (the day after the GE I think) and it was superb. Today [online] was just as good, if not better. The use of video mixed with live speaking was excellent and goes way beyond what other safeguarding courses provide. You've been there and done it, and your openness with your own story is inspirational."

Whole School Safeguarding CPD Online Session

In this two and half hour online presentation aimed at staff in all roles, specialist safeguarding consultant, Andrew Hall, explores important aspects of safeguarding in schools including child protection, learning from case studies and the latest version of Keeping Children Safe in Education.

"I would like to extend my thanks to Andrew for his fantastic online training. It was filmed so well - almost as if he were here with us! We were kept engaged throughout and felt so well informed - a huge thank you. It was a real success, and we look forward to booking you again in the future - with the staff team saying it was the best safeguarding training they have ever had. We really appreciated Andrew's real-life storytelling and the way such sensitive information was shared - it was excellent training."
