Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) is the statutory safeguarding guidance for schools and colleges in England—and staff understanding is critical to creating a culture where children are protected, concerns are acted on early, and safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
This course provides a clear, practical, and role-relevant learning pathway for all staff working in educational settings. It translates KCSIE expectations into day-to-day actions: recognising indicators of abuse and neglect, responding professionally to disclosures, recording concerns accurately, and following appropriate internal and external reporting routes. It also strengthens organisational safeguarding practice by covering management responsibilities, safer recruitment, online safeguarding, data protection, and how to respond when concerns involve adults or peer-on-peer behaviour.
Alongside core safeguarding principles, the programme includes GDPR essentials for education—helping learners handle personal and safeguarding information lawfully, securely, and proportionately—and a dedicated online safety unit focused on identifying digital risk and taking confident action.
