About this course
Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 brings changes to almost every part of the guidance, and the summary at Annex C gives each one a single line without saying what to do about it. If you're rewriting your child protection policy and planning this year's training, that's a lot of cross-referencing.
This course has done it for you, tying each change to its paragraph and to what it means in practice. That includes the new family help terms, the much longer guidance on children questioning their gender, AI in the 4Cs of online safety and the end of the supervision exemption for volunteers. Keep a copy of the guidance and a highlighter beside you and you'll finish with your own to-do list.
An independent safeguarding trainer and adviser points out which changes need more than a line in your training, and where a model policy will need rewording.
- For governors, middle leaders and senior leaders. All phases. England only.
