Education and Training Foundation National Head of Safeguarding and Prevent Isabelle King looks at the changes in the new version of the Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance and what they mean for the Further Education and Training sector.
In May 2022, the Department for Education (DfE) introduced the new draft of the Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE) guidance, which takes effect in September 2022. Regulated providers in the FE and Training sector MUST follow this guidance to ensure compliance with OFSTED.
The document now has an additional 13 pages, mainly because it has brought together several pieces of guidance, including that on sexual harassment, which previously stood alone.
