Tes Safeguarding Training

Safeguarding training provides your staff, volunteers and governors with the knowledge and skills to protect all the students in your care. Making sure everyone has access to high quality safeguarding training will not only ensure your compliance with statutory guidance and legislation but will also increase trust in your school by showing that you take best practice very seriously.

Each module provides one continuing professional development (CPD) credit and you'll receive a personalised downloadable certificate to show that you've completed the training.

Each module is equivalent to one hour of CPD. For example, a one-module course will take one hour and a four-module course will take four hours.

We work with a wide range of expert partners who play a key role in contributing to, reviewing and endorsing our training to ensure it's always accurate, up to date and high quality.

Courses are individually listed in our course library where you can search for the course you're interested in.

Our courses are regularly updated. If you have a question about the content of any of our courses, please get in touch at develophelp@tes.com.

Keeping children safe in education (KCSIE) is statutory guidance from the Department for Education (DfE) in England. Schools and colleges in England must follow it when carrying out their duties to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

Every year, the government update the guidance based on a number of factors including: new laws that have been introduced – such as the Online Safety Act, changes in government – such as Brexit, and new findings from research – so schools and colleges know what policies, procedures and preventative measures should be put in place to keep children safe.

Safer recruitment is ensuring that staff who are hired at your school to work with children have been suitably checked to help prevent children from being harmed while in their care.

Safer recruitment training explains what you need to do to safeguard children from unsuitable people who might apply to join your education setting.

The government’s official definition of Prevent duty is the legal obligation of schools to provide “due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”. Prevent has a helpline which allows members of the public to express concern about people who have been subject to and embracing of extremist opinions.

Prevent duty training is meant to alert teachers to the possibilities of “non-violent extremism”. Warning signs such as withdrawal from social circles, abnormal behaviour or changes in vocabulary are common among young people. Many teachers are aware of these indicators already and are always on the lookout for signs of stress in their pupils.
