Child Neglect Awareness
A child who is being neglected rarely says so. It shows in small, repeatable things: the same unwashed shirt, a lunch that never appears, a cough that is never treated, a register with too many gaps. Education staff see children five days a week, which puts them in a good position to notice a…

Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE)
Exploitation rarely looks like abuse from the outside. A Year 10 girl with expensive gifts, taxi rides she cannot pay for and an older boyfriend she met online may insist nothing is wrong, and believe it. Child sexual exploitation runs on a power imbalance, and the child is usually the last person…

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
A girl at risk of FGM often talks about a special holiday, a trip to see family, a ceremony she cannot name. School staff are frequently the only adults outside the family who hear it, and in England they carry a personal duty to report known cases in girls under 18. The course explains what FGM…

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM): Mandatory Reporting
The mandatory reporting duty falls on the teacher personally. If a girl under 18 tells you FGM has been carried out on her, or you see the physical signs, you must report it to the police yourself. Handing it to someone else does not discharge the duty. The course covers what FGM is, its prevalence…

Harmful Sexual Behaviour
Not all sexualised behaviour in children is harmful. Some of it is a normal part of development, and treating it as abuse does its own damage. The task for school staff is telling the two apart in the moment, and knowing what to do when the behaviour is genuinely harmful. The course defines harmful…

Honour-Based Violence and Forced Marriage
Forced marriage is a marriage that one or both people enter without free and full consent. That is what separates it from arranged marriage. Honour-based violence is not a cultural practice to be accommodated either: it is abuse directed at people, most often women and girls, who are held to have…

Introduction to Safeguarding
Everyone who works in a school has a safeguarding role, whatever their job title. A lunchtime supervisor or a teaching assistant can be the person a child chooses to tell, and no single adult ever holds the whole picture. The course sets out what safeguarding means, who counts as a child, and what…

Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025
Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025 changed what school and college staff are expected to notice. Persistent absence is now framed as a safeguarding indicator, not a behaviour issue. Misinformation, deepfakes and AI-generated content are safeguarding risks, not IT problems. The person who spots…

Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025: Post 16 Refresher Course
The safeguarding duty does not stop when a learner turns sixteen. Staff in post-16 settings are covered by the same statutory guidance, and the risks simply change shape: work placements, online exploitation, county lines and coercive relationships. This refresher covers what changed in Keeping…

Modern Slavery Awareness
A child being exploited rarely presents as a victim. It looks like a third change of school in one year, unexplained absences, a sudden shift in behaviour, poor physical appearance, or an older boyfriend waiting at the gate. Education staff see children every day, which puts them in a position to…

Online Safety
Online safety stopped being a computing topic some time ago. Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025 treats misinformation, disinformation and conspiracy theories as safeguarding concerns, and names artificial intelligence in safeguarding guidance for the first time. What staff are expected to…

Prevent Agenda Awareness
Prevent is a safeguarding duty, not a policing one. A child being drawn towards extremism shows push and pull factors similar to those behind other kinds of abuse and neglect, and the concern goes to the same designated safeguarding lead you would tell about anything else. The course explains what…

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.
