Staff Safeguarding Training

Our DSL and Deputy DSL's are fully trained and have completed their refresher training in line with Hampshire County Council's guidelines, every 3 years.

All staff employed at Newtown C of E Primary School and Governors, undertake Safeguarding Training annually and relevant updates throughout the academic year.  The latest whole school safeguarding training, delivered by a DSL, took place in September 2024. All new employees have safeguarding training delivered by a DSL or Deputy DSL as part of their induction.

All employees also complete Prevent Training every year.

Those involved in recruitment are also fully trained in Safer Recruitment, including the Governing Body.

Each staff member and governor also complete annual e-learning on the new Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024 document. 

We also ensure elements of the KCSIE are shared in weekly meetings and give staff and governors the opportunity to discuss various scenarios to remind ourselves of what actions we need to take in each situation.
