Introduction
An adaptable resource to ensure you are clear about what constitutes 'appropriate training' for your staff, governors and volunteers.
Why is training necessary?
Guidance is clear about the requirement for training:
"There are clear and effective arrangements for staff development and training in respect of the protection and care of children and learners."
Inspecting Safeguarding in early years, education and skills settings
"All staff should receive appropriate safeguarding and child protection training which is regularly updated. In addition, all staff should receive safeguarding and child protection updates (for example, via email, e-bulletins and staff meetings), as required, and at least annually, to provide them with relevant skills and knowledge to safeguard children effectively."
Need more?
Thank you for visiting our resources pages. These are free to everyone as is our fortnightly safeguarding bulletin – general safeguarding information is too important to restrict. Become a member to access lots more, including training materials for you to deliver in-house on each topic in Keeping Children Safe in Education.

What about training?
We can deliver training for your setting on this and other subjects via online platforms, or face-to-face in certain areas. Just get in touch to discuss your requirements.
So, everyone needs to be trained, but what is appropriate, regular and as required? This is for organisations to define depending on their learner profile, the needs of their staff team and what goes on in their local area.
We've devised a structured approach that sets out clearly what is expected of staff. It includes guidance for properly resourcing your training strategy and suggestions for cost effective ways to meet your goals.
