Safeguarding Training

Stride Education Limited and Keep Governance and Safeguarding work together to bring the highest quality level of training in Safeguarding across business and education.

Safeguarding in Education for Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs), their deputies and Governors with Lead Responsibilities

As a consultant and DSL Trainer I deliver courses, alongside Keep Governance and Safeguarding, to meet the needs of DSLs. We know what you need to know and how to make your investment in training worthwhile.

Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025 states “The [DSL] role carries a significant level of responsibility and the postholder should be given the additional time, funding, training, resources, and support needed to carry out the role effectively” [p103]” and “The designated safeguarding lead (and any deputies) should undergo training to provide them with the knowledge and skills required to carry out the role. This training should be updated at least every two years” [Annex C].

Because we believe in a collaborative approach to safeguarding, we encourage members of staff to train together where they can write safeguarding development plans which provide value long after the event is complete. To this end, we offer two-for-one tickets on all our DSL training courses. We deliver these in-person courses across the West Midlands and you can book a place on them by clicking on the buttons below.

Safeguarding for all staff in education

The statutory expectations of all organisations working with children or vulnerable adults are that all staff should undergo safeguarding training appropriate to their role.  Too often all staff training focuses on the signs and indicators - let's face it, that's the easy part - but our training is focused on developing the "think safeguarding" culture across your staff team, encouraging appropriate conversations to ensure nothing is missed or dismissed.  Our all staff training content includes:

• What safeguarding children is and the statutory role of all staff

• What staff should do if they have concerns about a child, hypothesising and professional conversations

• Whistleblowing and what staff should do if they have concerns about safeguarding systems or another adult in school

• Types of safeguarding, safeguarding issues and the indicators of abuse
