Child Protection & Safeguarding - Schools training catalogue

These centre-based courses can be attended by any governor in EYFS settings, primary, secondary, special, independent schools and academies. The Governance Handbook makes it clear that there is “A duty on the boards of maintained schools, and academy trusts, to have arrangements in place to ensure that they: Carry out their functions with a view to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children; and have regard to the statutory guidance issued by the Secretary of State in considering  what arrangements they need to make”.

To ensure your governing board complies with the current statutory guidance, Keeping Children Safe in Education 2021, it is strongly recommended that the Chair and a named governor with Child Protection and Safeguarding responsibility attends this training.
