Training Recommendations for the new academic year
Recommended training courses for September
As well as your usual child protection/refresher training, we would recommend the following safeguarding training topics for September inset days:
Serious Youth Violence
Serious violence has been a growing concern for some time, this has been reflected in the need for it to be added to KCSIE 2019 as a specific safeguarding concern and as such is going to be very important in the next academic year.
Our course has been written in partnership with The Children’s Society and includes information about County Lines and the terminology used by young people that helps professionals to improve understand and communicate.
Child Exploitation
Exploitation and coercion are key factors in safeguarding issues across the board, including serious youth violence, knife crime and county lines.
Make sure staff are up-to-date with the latest best-practice with this new course developed in partnership with the experts at nwg.
Mental Wellbeing
Transition can be a very anxious time for many young people.
Having a sound understanding of mental health issues will continue to be important in the years to come with an expectation that evidencing Mental Health Awareness training will soon be a requirement.
Honour-Based Abuse and Forced Marriage
The new KCSIE 2019 guidelines have extended the section on so-called Honour-Based Abuse.
The DfE is also still considering a mandatory reporting duty on Forced Marriage that will mirror that in place of FGM.
School Exclusions, School Attendance & Children Missing in Education
Not all children return to school after the summer break.
It is important that schools understand the current laws and issues relating to school attendance and can respond quickly to ensure children are not at risk of harm, exploitation or radicalisation.
Ofsted has made it clear that any signs of off-rolling will not be tolerated.
