Keeping Children Safe in Education 2022

Keeping Children Safe in Education has been released and came into effect yesterday. Here are some main updates and a link to the full guidance:

School governors and trustees must receive safeguarding training, including online safety training. This should be received as part of their induction and be regularly updated.

Guidance highlights the importance of talking to parents about children’s access to online sites when away from school.

‘Peer-on-peer’ abuse has been amended to ‘child-on-child’ abuse.

To encourage safer recruiting, new staff can be subject to digital background check, and CVs can only be accepted alongside a full application form.

A time constraint of 5 days has been added to pupil data transfer.

An ‘appropriate adult’ must be in attendance during police investigations.

New information has been added to explain the impact of domestic abuse.

The DfE sexual violence and sexual harassment guidance has been incorporated in the KCSIE guidance.

The full Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance can be found HERE.

To ensure compliance with the guidance, it’s important to look over your policies and procedures, and see how they match with the new guidance.

If you find training is required to fill in some of the gaps, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Four Seasons Healthcare Group

We had an urgent need to provide training in Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) across our business as a result of the challenges experienced during the first critical months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Knights Absorb worked with us to define a training solution that could be delivered in a ‘Covid-Safe’ manner that would enable us to reach our teams at our target sites within a tight time frame. They trained 277 of our team members across a 6 week period, providing the reassurance we needed to keep our teams and residents safe as well ensuring we were meeting regulatory requirements. The trainers were professional and sensitive to the needs of our homes at all times, and the feedback from everyone who attended the training has been fantastic.

United Response

Knights are now our preferred provider. The quality of training that Knights provides is exceptional. When it comes to Customer Service, Knights excel, in the many years of partnering with multiple companies, Knights are head and shoulders above the rest. Never phased by challenges that clients provide, Knights naturally deal with the issues, assess the need and make the correct decision for the customer. This is not to say they bend over or wilt when challenged, quite the opposite, they seem to scope issues and resolve them efficiently, a customer service ethic that is quite rare. Keep up the good work guys, it is noticed and appreciated.

Priory

Knights don’t use generic trainers but find the best trainer for the course and client. The trainers are specialists in their fields and have practitioner experience which I feel is always important when delivering to staff. Trainers discuss our needs before attending training and revise training to meet specific needs.

Hail

Knights have personalised courses to meet our learning and development needs. As predominately a learning disability/Autism provider we require trainers and courses that reflect these specific needs and Knights have delivered on this. All courses have met our requirements fully

Modus Care

Knights Training are an organisation that are easy to work with, reliable, operate a competitive straight forward pricing structure, offer an impressive range of courses and employ good quality trainers who have expert subject knowledge, certainly an organisation that I would recommend.
