Important: This Course Does Not Replace Employer-Specific or Statutory Training

Safeguarding duties depend on the setting, role and organisation. For schools and colleges in England, Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 came into force on 1 September 2026. The Department for Education requires all staff to read part one and follow their school or college safeguarding policies and procedures.

This Learning247 course is broad safeguarding awareness training. It should not be presented as a substitute for KCSIE 2026, local safeguarding procedures, designated safeguarding-lead instruction, regulated professional training or an employer’s own mandatory induction.

Use Current Safeguarding Guidance

Safeguarding guidance can change and organisations should ensure workers know the current policies and reporting routes for their setting.

Schools and colleges can review the Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 guidance.
