Complete September Safeguarding CPD Pack

Ready-to-deliver September 2026 safeguarding CPD for primary schools, covering KCSIE, disclosures, CPOMS recording, professional curiosity and staff responsibilities.

Take the pressure out of preparing your September safeguarding INSET with this complete, ready-to-deliver primary safeguarding CPD package.

Designed for DSLs, headteachers and senior leaders, this resource provides a structured start-of-year safeguarding session that can be delivered to teachers, teaching assistants, support staff and other adults working within a primary school.

The training focuses not only on what staff need to know, but what they need to do when they notice or receive safeguarding information.

Training covers:

• safeguarding as everyone’s responsibility;
• recognising concerns;
• responding to disclosures;
• what staff should and should not do;
• reporting concerns to the DSL;
• recording safeguarding information;
• CPOMS / electronic safeguarding records;
• factual versus subjective recording;
• professional curiosity;
• attendance as safeguarding information;
• child-on-child concerns;
• online safety;
• professional boundaries;
• low-level concerns;
• allegations involving adults;
• information sharing;
• chronology and cumulative concerns;
• joining the dots between apparently minor incidents;
• knowing your school’s safeguarding procedures.

Includes:

• professionally designed safeguarding CPD PowerPoint;
• detailed trainer/facilitator notes;
• staff safeguarding handout;
• staff training/sign-off documentation;
• discussion activities;
• safeguarding reflection prompts;
• links to current statutory and national safeguarding resources.

The pack has been created specifically to reduce preparation time for busy Designated Safeguarding Leads and school leaders at the beginning of the academic year.

Simply personalise the school-specific information — such as your DSL team and internal reporting arrangements — and deliver.

Ideal for:

• September INSET;
• annual whole-school safeguarding training;
• safeguarding refresher sessions;
• staff meetings;
• new academic year induction;
• DSL-led CPD.

Suitable for primary schools in England.
