What's included in our 2025/26 INSET pack? 

Use our safeguarding and child protection INSET pack to make sure your staff are trained in how to effectively safeguard children.

In about 2.5 hours staff will learn:

  • What safeguarding is
  • What safeguarding means for staff
  • What can make some pupils more vulnerable than others
  • How we can act in pupils' best interests
  • The 4 main types of abuse and signs to look out for
  • How to spot the signs of poor mental health and support pupils who are struggling
  • Specific forms of abuse and safeguarding issues you might see at school

As ever, there are activities throughout to keep staff engaged. There's also a downloadable knowledge check, to test staff on their understanding of KCSIE part 1. 

New for 2025

Your pack includes:

  • Updated slides 
  • New slides in our mix-and-match library of safeguarding issues, covering current safeguarding issues such as online grooming, toxic masculinity and the 'manosphere' and female genital mutilation (FGM)
  • New videos, scenarios and activities, to keep staff interested and engagement high
  • The key updates from KCSIE 2025 

You're not expected to use all the slides. There are optional reflection and discussion tasks, as well as mix-and-match safeguarding issues. We’ve also split some slides and sections up to make it more manageable and digestible for your staff to take in.
