Share these scenarios with your staff to check their:
- Understanding of how to handle a safeguarding situation
- Knowledge of your procedures
There are 2 versions of each document:
- With answers: for you to use, including prompts for how staff should respond
- Without answers: to send or give to staff, without prompts included
In each document there are 6 scenarios: 3 aimed at primary schools and 3 aimed at secondary schools. Delete the scenarios that don't apply to your phase.
If you send the scenario to staff by email, make sure you use the version without answers. Erase 'low-level concerns about staff' from the file name before attaching it, so staff don't see which safeguarding issue the scenario is about.
If you use the scenario at a staff briefing, make sure you give staff the version without answers.
