Live from the catalogue — never a hand-typed list, so what you see here is what you can actually enrol on.

  • 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…

    Duration
    40 min
  • 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…

    60 min
  • A woman in a teal patterned dress holding an open folder talks with a man in a burgundy jumper wearing a lanyard in a bright corridor with large windows.

    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…

    35 min
  • 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…

  • Person wearing a dark blue jumper and lanyard working at a laptop at a desk with a mug, potted plant and papers nearby, in an office with a noticeboard on the wall behind them

    Domestic Abuse and Its Impact on Children

    A child who sees, hears or experiences the effects of domestic abuse is a victim in their own right. Since November 2025, police have had a statutory duty to tell a child's school through Operation Encompass. What the school does the next morning matters. Following Keeping Children Safe in…

    35 min
  • Two people sit at a desk facing each other across a lilac folder, with a computer keyboard and plant visible in an office with a large window overlooking greenery.

    Early Help and Family Help: Thresholds and Referrals

    Most safeguarding training teaches staff to spot harm and report it, then stops. This course covers what happens next: the four sections of help in Working Together to Safeguard Children 2026, including the new Family Help and the lead practitioner role; the section 17 and section 47 thresholds…

    Duration
    35 min
  • A long institutional corridor with sage-green walls, dark blue floor tiles, brick pillars, wooden doors on the right, and windows on the left overlooking a window seat.

    Female Genital Mutilation: Recognition and Response

    Female genital mutilation (FGM) is illegal, it is child abuse, and it is usually carried out over the summer holiday so a girl has time to recover before she is back in class. This course follows Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 and the government's multi-agency statutory guidance on FGM. It…

    Duration
    35 min
  • Illustrated speech bubbles on a teal background displaying the words "Stop FGM", symbolising awareness and prevention of female genital mutilation.

    Female Genital Mutilation: The Mandatory Reporting Duty

    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…

  • A man in a navy jumper with glasses points to wiring inside a server cabinet whilst a woman in a beige cardigan wearing a lanyard watches in an office corridor.

    Filtering, Monitoring and Mobile Phones

    Filtering and monitoring is the safeguarding duty most often delegated to the person least equipped to discharge it alone. The 2026 edition hardened it from a vague regularly to an effectiveness review at least annually, across all internet-connected devices, recorded. This course is forty-five…

  • A man wearing a navy jumper and lanyard sits facing another person in a classroom, with a notebook on the table beside them.

    Honour or Faith-Based Abuse and Forced Marriage

    Honour or faith-based abuse is one of the few areas of safeguarding where the normal, decent reflex (ring home, invite the family in, find someone who speaks the language) can put a child in serious danger. This course follows Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 and the government's statutory…

    Duration
    30 min
  • A person in dark clothing carrying a cardboard box walks along a bright, windowed corridor lined with wooden-framed doors.

    Information Sharing and Child Protection Records

    Somebody knew, and the pieces never met. That finding runs through safeguarding reviews, and records are how the pieces meet. KCSIE 2026 sharpens the expectations: share what is relevant, necessary and in context, don't leave out what matters to risk, and transfer child protection files within 5…

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.
