The Safeguarding in Education Team aims to increase participants’ knowledge and skills of safeguarding so that the workforce can provide high-quality services and improve outcomes for children and young people. We aim to curate relevant courses in a centralised space (this means not all courses are provided by the Safeguarding in Education Team). Due to this, some of the opportunities may have different registration processes and costs.
Costs and administration.
All proceeds of courses administered and delivered by the Safeguarding in Education Team go towards the High Needs Block for vulnerable learners. Please click on the various links for course costs and sign up forms.

During the current team capacity, we are delivering all of our training virtually using Microsoft Teams. This will be reviewed but currently forecast dates have accounted for virtual delivery.
These are single-agency courses, bespoke to those working within education settings.
Suitable for: new DSLs, Deputies or members of the setting’s safeguarding team, or those who are completely new to the DSL role.
Please note, prior to undertaking this single agency training course, we recommend that you complete the multi-agency Advanced Child Protection Course from the local Safeguarding Partnership (KBSP).

These courses have been requested as part of consultations with the workforce and have come out of identifying need from the s.175 Audit.
These courses are bespoke and relevant to colleagues working in the education sector. They are designed for those undertaking a ‘champion role’ in their settings, therefore attendees are expected to act as a point of expertise as well as cascade information to other staff members.
