Safeguarding Training, Safer Recruitment and Prevent Duty
Training SCL ensures that staff at every level receive role-appropriate safeguarding training in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025 (KCSIE). This includes online safety, child on child abuse, filtering and monitoring, and Prevent Duty. Training and ongoing CPD, termly and regular fortnightly updates at briefings, are tailored to the context of SCL provisions and delivered through a range of methods such as toolbox sessions, workshops, briefings, and online modules via the SCL platform, including the KCSIE Knowledge Check. We consider local and national priorities, best practice, and the voices of staff, and learners. Training plans are regularly reviewed, with updates shared through newsletters and the Safeguarding Hub. Safer Recruitment As part of SCL’s wider safeguarding approach, we operate a robust Safer Recruitment process to ensure all staff are suitable to work with learners. This includes due diligence checks and maintenance of a Single Central Record (SCR) covering DBS, right to work, references, and safeguarding training. Prevent In line with section 26 of the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015 , SCL fulfils its Prevent Duty by identifying and reducing risks of learners being drawn into extremism. We have designated Prevent leads and Single Point of Contact (SPOC) to manage concerns, with referrals to Channel made where early multi- agency support is needed. Safeguarding Training, Supervision and CPD All staff must receive regular, role-appropriate safeguarding training, including updates on KCSIE changes, Prevent, low-level concerns, and online safety. Training completion is monitored, and non-compliance may be addressed through performance processes. Staff involved in safeguarding cases are offered appropriate wellbeing and mental health support. DSL, DDSLs and staff with safeguarding duties receive regular, documented supervision to support reflection, ensure accountability, and maintain compliance with statutory guidance. Ongoing professional development is provided to ensure safeguarding knowledge and practice remain current.
