Every year, the Department for Education updates Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) — the statutory guidance that sets out what schools must do to safeguard children. Under the Education Act 2002, all schools in England must follow KCSIE. This isn't optional guidance — it's a legal requirement.

KCSIE 2025 is clear: safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. This course provides essential training on your KCSIE 2025 duties. You'll learn what KCSIE is and why it has legal weight, which parts you must read, how to recognise signs of abuse, the specific safeguarding responsibilities KCSIE places on all staff, and the procedures to follow when concerns arise.

Online grooming crimes have reached record levels across the UK, with 7,263 offences recorded in 2024/25 — an 89% rise in six years. One in five adolescents experience cyberbullying, with England having the highest rates amongst surveyed nations. Children as young as 8–11 access social media despite age restrictions, encountering harmful content that can devastate their mental health and wellbeing.

Under KCSIE 2025 and the Online Safety Act 2023, all education staff have responsibilities for keeping children safe online. This course provides essential online safety training, featuring expert guidance and practical scenarios to help you recognise risks, understand your legal duties, and respond effectively to protect children from online harm.

Every school day, you interact with children who trust you to keep them safe. Sometimes, you're the only adult who notices that something isn't right. That moment of noticing — and what you do next — can change a child's life.

Under KCSIE 2025, safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. Every member of school staff has a legal duty to act when they have concerns about a child's welfare. This course provides essential safeguarding training aligned with KCSIE 2025 and UK legislation.

This course provides comprehensive training on safer recruitment practices aligned with KCSIE 2025. You'll learn the legal requirements for pre-employment checks, how to scrutinise applications effectively, how to conduct interviews that reveal safeguarding attitudes, and how to make informed decisions that protect children.

Educational visits provide powerful learning experiences, but they require robust oversight and governance. The Educational Visits Coordinator, Senior Leaders, and Governors are each accountable for ensuring trips are planned safely, risks are managed appropriately, and staff are competent to lead visits.

The EVC role sits at the centre of the school's trips programme: reviewing risk assessments, approving visits, assessing staff competency, and learning from incidents. This course covers the accountability framework for educational visits, how visits are reviewed and approved effectively, and strategies for monitoring quality across the school's trips programme.

Educational visits provide powerful learning experiences that pupils remember for life. Research consistently shows that well-planned learning outside the classroom improves pupil engagement, behaviour, and learning outcomes — creating those memorable moments that connect classroom learning to the real world.

However, organising school trips comes with legal responsibilities under health and safety and safeguarding legislation. As Visit Leader or supporting staff, you need to understand your duties, apply effective risk assessment processes, and know how to respond when things don't go to plan. This training covers day trips within the UK including theatre trips, sports fixtures, and local community visits.

Every day in UK schools, staff handle sensitive personal data about children, families, and colleagues.

Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, every member of staff has legal responsibilities for protecting personal data. This course provides essential GDPR training for UK education settings. You'll learn your legal obligations, understand how to handle children's data lawfully, and know exactly what to do when you receive a Subject Access Request or discover a data breach.

In almost every classroom, there's at least one child whose allergy could become a medical emergency. 1 in 13 children has a food allergy — roughly two per class — and 20% of severe reactions happen at school, sometimes in pupils with no previous allergy history.

Around 35,000 children and young people in the UK are living with diabetes — meaning virtually every school will support a pupil with this condition at some point. A pupil with diabetes can go from fine to unconscious in under 15 minutes during a hypo. That's less time than morning registration. Quick recognition and the right response can prevent a medical emergency.

This course provides essential diabetes awareness training for all school staff. You'll learn your legal duties under the Children and Families Act 2014, how to identify and respond to hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia, and how to support pupils with diabetes throughout daily school activities including testing, eating, exercise, and full educational participation.

Epilepsy affects around 100,000 children and young people in the UK — approximately 23 new diagnoses every day. In a school of any size, there is a strong chance at least one child has epilepsy right now. Most are well-controlled on medication and can do everything other children do, but they need the adults around them to understand their condition, recognise their seizures, and know how to respond.

This course provides essential epilepsy awareness and first aid training for all school staff. You'll learn your legal duties under the Children and Families Act 2014, how to identify different seizure types and apply correct first aid, and how to use Individual Healthcare Plans to support pupils' full participation in school life.

Most seizures stop on their own within one to three minutes. Some don't — and for those children, trained school staff can make all the difference. Epilepsy affects around 100,000 children and young people in the UK, and for a small number, prolonged seizures require emergency medication to be administered before an ambulance arrives.

This course provides essential training on epilepsy emergency medication for school staff. You'll learn when emergency medication is needed, your legal responsibilities under the Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2017, the correct procedure for administering buccal midazolam safely, and the post-administration monitoring and record-keeping procedures required.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that can develop within minutes. 1 in 13 children has a food allergy, and 20% of severe reactions happen at school — sometimes in pupils with no previous allergy history. A reaction doesn't wait for the school nurse to be available.

Under the Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2017 and Children and Families Act 2014, schools can hold spare adrenaline auto-injectors for emergency use. This course equips all school staff to recognise the signs of anaphylaxis, administer an AAI correctly, and follow the complete emergency response protocol from first recognition through to post-incident recording.

Mental health concerns among children and young people are rising. According to NHS data, around one in five children aged 8 to 16 had a probable mental health disorder in 2023 — a significant increase over recent years.

Schools are on the frontline of this challenge, and under KCSIE 2025, every member of staff has a legal duty to treat mental health as a safeguarding issue and respond appropriately. This responsibility isn't limited to specialists. This course equips all school staff with the knowledge to identify warning signs early and apply a whole school approach to wellbeing.

Every school day, staff across the UK help children with medical conditions stay safe, healthy, and able to learn. From asthma inhalers to diabetes management, from allergy awareness to emergency medication, your knowledge and confidence can make a life-changing difference.
