Nexis CPD Knowledge Bank — Safeguarding guides and explainers.
The DfT statutory standards say licensing authorities should require taxi and private hire drivers to complete safeguarding training, including County Lines awareness. What councils ask for and how it varies.
EYFS training rules in full: safeguarding training for all practitioners renewed every two years, paediatric first aid on the premises at all times and renewed every three, plus qualifications and ratios.
Social Work England requires at least two pieces of CPD a year, one with a peer reflection, recorded by 30 November. Why it is not measured in hours, how the rest of the UK differs, and how a course fits.
There is no national CPD hours requirement for teachers in England. What actually applies: statutory safeguarding training under KCSIE, the Teachers’ Standards, school appraisal and the Early Career Framework – plus how requirements differ in Scotland and Wales.
Safeguarding adults means protecting an adult’s right to live free from abuse and neglect. The Care Act 2014 section 42 test, the six principles, the ten types of abuse, and why it differs from safeguarding children.
There are four recognised types of child abuse: physical, emotional, sexual and neglect. The signs of each, wider forms of harm, and how to respond to a concern.
KCSIE is the statutory safeguarding guidance every school in England must follow. What it is, who must read it, how it is structured, and why it changes each September.
Safeguarding children means protecting them from abuse, neglect and harm, and it is everyone’s responsibility. What it means, how it differs from child protection, the law, and what to do.
Safeguarding is not the same as child protection. What safeguarding actually means, who it applies to, the difference between safeguarding children and adults at risk, the types of abuse, and what everyone is expected to do.
Every school and college in England must have a designated safeguarding lead, and KCSIE is statutory guidance rather than advice. What the role carries, the two-year training rule, why deputies must be trained to the same standard, and why an online course alone is not enough.
