‎Meeting your training requirements

These courses will help you meet your school’s training requirements, but you’ll need to go further to make sure you’re fully compliant.

Read our article to find out more about the training requirements for your staff, including guidance on what kind of training to provide and how often to refresh it
Use our library of safeguarding elearning and adaptable staff briefings on The Key Safeguarding to help you meet your safeguarding training requirements
Check with your LA or trust to see if they set any additional training requirements for you (e.g. specific designated safeguarding lead (DSL) training requirements)

There are some courses we won’t be able to help you deliver. We recommend in-person training and assessment to meet requirements for certain roles, in particular first aiders and fire marshalls.

The Key Leaders has more support on other areas of compliance, including summaries of requirements, audits and model policies.
