Version 1.3 Final July 2026 Area - Wider Curriculum
Safeguarding across the curriculum – big picture Safeguarding Across Curriculum
Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE) 2026 places a statutory duty on schools to ensure pupils receive age- appropriate learning that equips them to recognise risk, seek help, and stay safe — online, in relationships, and in the wider world. Embedding safeguarding themes explicitly across the curriculum ensures this is not left to chance or single assemblies, but is woven systematically into children's education.
Conduct a full audit of how safeguarding themes identified in KCSiE 2026 (including online safety, child-on-child abuse, exploitation, domestic abuse, FGM (age appropriate - PANTS), radicalisation, and SEND- specific vulnerabilities) are explicitly taught across all year groups and subjects. Produce a update to the written ‘Safeguarding Across the Curriculum’ document mapping coverage to year groups, subjects, and learning outcomes.
KCSiE 2026 safeguarding themes mapped across the curriculum by end of audit; gaps identified and addressed in revised medium-term plans; teaching staff able to identify where safeguarding is covered in their year group's curriculum. Pupil voice confirms awareness of key safety concepts in at least 80% of sampled pupils across KS1 and KS2.
Audit Jigsaw scheme; update curriculum maps; review e-safety content.
