Train staff on spotting the signs and indicators of neglect with this flexible safeguarding training pack. With a ready-made presentation to deliver to staff, two accompanying safeguarding scenarios on neglect, quiz questions, a discussion prompt and a one-minute guide to send and display, this whole pack works seamlessly to train staff in safeguarding and keeping children safe.
Created from content in KCSIE 2024, this helpful bundle contains four resources that work together to create a full training package about safeguarding and neglect.
Staff Training Presentation - Neglect: A ready-to-deliver 24-slide PowerPoint presentation that outlines the signs and indicators of neglect, followed by slides that allow staff to consider and discuss what puts pupils at greater risk, other factors to be aware of and what actions they should take. The presentation has built in discussion questions and finishes with the choice of two scenarios and a quiz to check staff understanding about neglect.
Scenario - Neglect: Two editable scenarios that outlines fictional situations where neglect is occurring. They also include full commentary and guided considerations for the DSL or staff member leading the child protection training. Use them to gauge how effectively staff can identify the signs of abuse as well as how they’d respond in a real-life context, including further actions they’d take.
Quiz and Discussion - Neglect: There are five challenging multiple choice quiz questions that test your staff members’ understanding of neglect, plus a discussion prompt that can be used to kickstart your training session or as a follow-up question a few weeks later.
Safeguarding Snapshot - Neglect: This one-page, one-minute guide is perfect for following up the session by using as a training handout, displaying in your staff-only spaces or sending as part of a safeguarding e-bulletin.

Wanting to get staff up to speed on Working Together to Improve Attendance and the role they play in supporting reducing pupil absence? This training bundle, which is perfect for INSETs, staff meetings and twilights, contains engaging and collaborative training materials plus real-life attendance scenarios to meet your attendance CPD needs.
Each one contains a three-stage situation that mimics the types of attendance issues that schools may encounter. First, staff can look at the initial picture presented to them and discuss what concerns around pupil attendance they may have. Then, further information is revealed, allowing staff to consider how they’d take action, as well as how other professionals and the attendance officer, manager, lead or co-ordinator can help. Lastly, staff can view the resolution and consider the next steps.
The scenarios cover the following topics:
Bullying and Physical & Mental Health
Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE)
Finance
Sickness-Related Absence
Substance Addiction
Young Carers
Each scenario has an accompanying PowerPoint that details the scenario in parts and the key questions for discussion, allowing them to be used interactively during a staff meeting, INSET or twilight.
Furthermore, there’s a PowerPoint called Working Together to Improve Attendance which highlights the key parts from the DfE’s own document that are applicable to teachers and support staff. This allows your team to gain a deeper understanding of why good attendance is important for every single pupil as well as considering the role that all staff have to play in reducing pupil absence.
