**NEW COURSE** Raising Awareness of Peer-on-Peer Abuse

EduCare is launching a new course to help schools and colleges prepare for the update to Keeping children safe in education (KCSIE).

Peer-on-peer abuse and contextual safeguarding

On September 3rd 2018, the Department for Education (DfE) statutory guidance will come into effect. The guidance includes a more detailed explanation of the ways in which peer-on-peer abuse can manifest itself, and requires all staff, and particularly Designated Safeguarding Leads, to take a contextual safeguarding approach to peer-on-peer abuse. The list of information that schools are required to include about peer-on-peer abuse in their child protection policies has also been expanded, and there is an entirely new Part 5 entitled ‘Child on Child Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment’ which is an abbreviated version of the new DfE Advice Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment between Children in Schools and Colleges (May 2018). The new Part 5 is there to provide guidance for schools and colleges on how they should respond to reports of child on child sexual violence and sexual harassment.

This shows the importance that the DfE are placing on peer-on-peer abuse.
