‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ states that all staff in schools and colleges should undergo safeguarding and child protection training (including online safety) at induction.
This is an introductory safeguarding E-learning course that can form part of staff induction to ensure staff working in schools/colleges have the essential knowledge and skills they need to recognise, report and record concerns to protect children and young people (aged 5-18).
This course will enable staff working in schools/colleges to recognise and respond to a variety of safeguarding concerns and priorities, as identified in ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’.
The course explores current national education safeguarding guidance, as well as best practice policy and procedures. However, it is important that once staff have completed the training, they find out their school/college specific policies and procedures via their Designated Safeguarding Lead.
