Why download the quiz?

It is essential that everybody working in a school or college understands their safeguarding responsibilities. Governing bodies and proprietors should ensure that those staff who work directly with children read at least Part one of KCSIE.

Governing bodies and proprietors, working with their senior leadership teams and especially their designated safeguarding lead, should now also ensure that those staff who do not work directly with children read part one of this guidance.

To help you with this responsibility, our ready-to-use quiz is designed to assess safeguarding knowledge, demonstrate compliance, and identify areas for further development.
