Management Information Sheet
Online Safeguarding Training Package
The Education Safeguarding Team have commissioned an external company to develop an online safeguarding training package for schools and colleges.
The package covers some of the objectives from the whole school training package that is available on My School such as updates to statutory guidance, signs and indicators of abuse and harm, the Prevent Duty, dealing with concerns and disclosures, safer working practice and allegations against adults. The online package includes a number of activities to assess understanding and an evaluation to complete.
The package can be used by schools and colleges if they have new staff or volunteers who start during the academic year. This will mean they likely missed the whole school face-to-face training delivered at the beginning of the year. Also, in the current climate it might not have been possible to run whole school training in the traditional way and so the online package could be used with staff to for this purpose.
The online package is not intended to replace whole school face-to-face training for all staff on an ongoing basis and DSLs will need to ensure that anyone completing the online package has understood the content and are aware of the procedures within the setting. Opportunities should also be provided for all staff to regularly discuss safeguarding issues including areas for development of knowledge and skills.
On completion of the training, the member of staff / volunteer will be asked to enter an email address of a DSL. This means a confirmation email will be sent as evidence of course completion. An email will also be sent to the Education Safeguarding Team so we can monitor the use of the training package. Email addresses will not be shared with other agencies.
The annual subscription costs are below and are based on the number of pupils on roll:
- Below 150 pupils - £75 per annum
- 150- 800 pupils - £90 per annum
- 800 + pupils - £105 per annum
We would also look to do a MAT / multi-school buy in by totalling up the subscription cost and then giving a 10% discount.
