From September 1, 2022, education settings will have to abide by the new Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance – which contains several notable additional requirements that schools need to follow.
The Department for Education has – after consultation with the sector – updated the KCSIE with the aim of improving the approach to safeguarding in schools.
With an extra 13 pages of guidance compared with the current document, it is not a light read. To ensure compliance, you will need to look at your policies and procedures, and see how they match with the new guidance, making the appropriate changes where required.
