Important updates to Safeguarding Children and Safer Recruitment training courses
Posted 3 years ago
Our team of scriptwriters, presenters and animators have been hard at work updating our Safer Recruitment in Education and Safeguarding Children Level 2 Training courses to make sure that our content aligns more with the KCSIE 2021 changes and we’re pleased to announce the work is now complete!
*Sensitive subjects below*
Safeguarding Children Level 2 updates and changes
Slides updated:
- Common Warning Signs (now includes info on ‘Early Help’)
- Domestic Abuse (now includes a broader definition that covers teenage relationships and household relationships)
New slides:
- Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE)
- Peer on Peer Abuse
- Child Abduction
Additional information:
There are also a number of new text box additional resources throughout that quote a little extra from KCSIE 2021 where relevant, including more in-depth information on Upskirting and Early Help – for example.
Please note:
Safeguarding Children Training and KCSIE Training have complimentary content, and are best understood as Step 1 and Step 2 of a user’s training. Users will need to complete both of them for a thorough understanding. Every update of significance or value from KCSIE 2021 has now been included in SGC Level 2 in a way that makes sense for video-based presentation.
Safer Recruitment in Education updates and changes
Along with some script changes, the main changes to bring this course in line with KCSIE 2021 are now included:
- Info on Teacher Status Checks
- “Teaching Regulation Agency’s Employer Access Service” has replaced “The Government’s Employer Access Online Service”
- There are now 4 levels of DBS check (now including the Basic DBS Check)
- Updated guidance on what and when to refer someone to the DBS
- The two barred lists – the “Children’s Barred” list and the “Adults Barred” list
- “NQTs” (Newly Qualified Teachers) are now “ECTs” (Early Career’s Teachers)
- ECTs have to complete a statutory induction period. The standard length is now two school years for full-time staff (it used to be 1 school year).
