Find everything you need to deliver effective, up-to-date and compliant training to all your staff this September. Our INSET pack covers part 1 of Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) as well as the latest changes to the guidance, which was published on 7 July 2025.

Our INSET pack has become a staple in thousands of schools’ September INSET day. Every year, we update it with the latest KCSIE guidance, add new modules to support you with emerging safeguarding challenges, and keep it engaging for staff with new videos and activities.
