    ADHD Awareness

    A child with ADHD is often labelled disruptive long before anyone considers a neurodevelopmental cause. ADHD affects attention, impulse control and activity levels, and it shows in the structure, function and chemistry of the brain. NICE estimates that two to five per cent of children in the UK…

    An Introduction to Food Hygiene and Safety

    A school kitchen is a food business in law. The same registration, inspection and standards apply to a canteen, a tuck shop and a food technology classroom as to any restaurant. Get hygiene wrong and the consequences run from food poisoning and allergic reactions to closure and prosecution. The…

    An Overview of Understanding Learning Disabilities

    A learning disability is a difference in how the brain takes in and uses information. It affects comprehension, speech, literacy and numeracy, and it lasts into adulthood. Public Health England reported that in 2018, 67,765 children in England had an Education, Health and Care Plan naming a…

    Anxiety and Depression

    A colleague who is struggling rarely announces it. Anxiety and depression are common among staff in education settings, and they show up as fatigue, lost concentration, absence and quiet withdrawal long before anyone uses the words. The cost lands on the individual first, then on the team and the…

  • A grey upholstered sofa with multiple cushions and a black backpack beside it in a warmly lit living room with a window overlooking a city.

    Artificial Intelligence and Safeguarding

    Generative AI appears in the 2026 edition of Keeping children safe in education as a distinct risk area. Not because it is fashionable, but because it changes three things about how harm reaches a child: scale, plausibility, and intimacy. This course is forty minutes on all three, for staff in…

  • A teaching assistant supports a primary-school child as he points to a wall-mounted visual timetable in a bright classroom, while other children learn and play in the background.

    Autism Awareness in Children

    An autistic child who turns the wrong way on the carpet is not being difficult. Autism affects social communication, interaction, and patterns of behaviour and interest, and it presents differently in every child. The Department for Education records more than 160,000 autistic children in schools…

    Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)

    A child with developmental language disorder may read fluently and still miss most of what is said in a lesson. DLD affects how language is learned, understood and used, across phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. It affects around seven per cent of children, and it is more…

    Bullying and Harassment

    A child who is being bullied usually stops asking for help. Bullying and harassment in education settings are treated as a public health risk in the UK, and the evidence links them to missed lessons, lower attainment, poorer mental health and self-harm. The course separates bullying from harassment…

  • A person wearing a purple cardigan and blue lanyard writes in an open notebook at a wooden desk, with a laptop and potted plant nearby.

    Child Sexual and Criminal Exploitation

    Exploitation rarely looks like abuse from the outside. A child who goes missing, carries a knife, snaps at staff or turns up with new trainers is often handled as a behaviour problem, when each is a recognised sign of criminal or sexual exploitation. This course follows Keeping Children Safe in…

  • Two people sit at a wooden desk facing each other in an office with large windows, potted plants, and wooden doors.

    Child-on-Child Abuse: Harassment, Violence and the HSB Continuum

    Part five of Keeping children safe in education was substantially rewritten in 2026 around a continuum: from harmful sexual behaviour, through sexual harassment, to sexual violence. This course teaches staff to recognise and respond at the early end of that continuum, not only after a serious…

    Children Missing Education and Alternative Provision

    Almost every harm shows up in attendance first. KCSIE 2026 calls absence and children missing education "a vital warning sign", and is clear that a school placing a pupil in alternative provision stays responsible for their safeguarding. This course covers who children missing education are, the…

  • People in dark business clothing sit at tables in a bright classroom with large windows, whiteboards and a dark board on the walls.

    Children with a Social Worker and Looked-After Children

    Most children with a social worker are not in care. They live at home, as children in need or on child protection plans, and the risk doesn't end when the plan does. This course covers all four groups: children with a social worker, looked-after children, previously looked-after children, and…

About the courses

How long does a course take?

Most take between 45 minutes and two hours. The longer safeguarding courses run to three. You can stop and come back where you left off.

Are they accredited?

Our courses are CPD-accredited and carry CPD points, which count towards the record you keep here or send elsewhere.

Are they kept up to date?

Yes. Courses tied to statutory guidance, such as Keeping Children Safe in Education, are reviewed when that guidance changes rather than once a year out of habit.

Can my school assign courses to staff?

Yes. A school or trust can assign the courses each role needs and see who has completed them.

Start with the one your role needs most

Sign in, pick a course and work through it whenever you have half an hour.
