The consultation on Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 sets out that staff need to know about responses to absence and how to access family help (both from your setting and local agencies). It also sets out that staff should know threshold criteria for child protection assessment pathways, children in care and the procedures and processes for children within the youth secure estate and disabled children.
This webinar session takes Designated Safeguarding Leads through the requirements and how we can effectively deliver sessions within early years settings, schools and colleges to ensure all staff have clarity about how to respond to young people and families. We’ll consider how these processes link into effective work with families (in line with our new course Helping Families - Making the Difference), particularly when those conversations are quite challenging (see our Courageous Conversations training course) and provide valuable materials to support you in delivering this to your staff teams.
All registrants will be able to view a recording of the session and receive a copy of the slides.
