Thinking about how you can make staff safeguarding training more regular? These beautifully designed and informative Safeguarding Snapshots provide one-page glances at specific safeguarding issues.

Designed from the most up-to-date information from the 2023 KCSIE, each snapshot covers the key signs and indicators of that particular safeguarding issue. They detail which groups of pupils could be at more risk and other factors that staff should be aware of.

Discover how to build a positive and nurturing classroom environment for all your pupils with this Positive Behaviour Management CPD course. In this self-guided, research-based study, you’ll learn how to avoid the overuse of sanctions by developing practical, positive strategies of behaviour management. In doing so, you’ll cultivate stronger teacher-pupil relationships and create a classroom where everyone thrives.
What? A self-directed study pack covering the core theme of positive behaviour management, including how to: tailor your language and phrasing; utilise strategies like managed choice and redirection; alter your classroom culture to be more positive, and strengthen teacher-pupil relationships.
Who? Teachers, teaching assistants and leaders wishing to develop staff understanding of positive behaviour management
How long? Depending on how deeply you explore the research, the start of the course should take 1-2 hours. Implementing and embedding this into your practice will take at least several weeks, depending on what you’re planning to change.
When? Start as soon as you’ve downloaded the course or at any time to suit your school demands and workload.
Why? Using positive behaviour management strategies builds a more productive classroom environment. When practitioners model the behaviours they wish to see, they teach pupils what the desired types of behaviour look like therefore reducing the need to manage misbehaviour with sanctions. Pupils also become more self-reflective of their own behaviour and, in time, their social and emotional skills develop so incidents of disruption are less frequent. This leads to a more positive learning space for all (including staff) and better academic outcomes for pupils.

Support staff in tackling inappropriate language in your school with this engaging and thought-provoking CPD session. Ideal for school leaders and those with oversight of behaviour, this PowerPoint allows you to present effective CPD to teachers, teaching assistants and others to look at why pupils use inappropriate language, how staff can prevent it and how best to address it when it does occur. Budget-friendly and flexible, it’s perfect to use in staff meetings or training sessions, saving you hours of prep time.
This 27-slide PowerPoint, designed to last between 30 minutes to 1 hour, is a ready-made CPD session on behaviour management, focusing on the issue of inappropriate language use by pupils. It covers the basics of what inappropriate language is, such as swearing, discriminatory language and gang slang, and looks at the underlying reasons why pupils may use these terms.

Going beyond the issue of just swearing, the training session allows you to explore different root causes, such as peer pressure, safeguarding or a simple misunderstanding, and gives practical strategies on how to address bad language in line with your school’s behaviour policy.
The PowerPoint is fully editable but equally can be used ‘as is’ to present directly to the staff members of your choosing. Each slide is carefully crafted to keep staff engaged with prompt questions and considerations for your school. It’s a huge time-saver for school leaders who know they need to address the issues surrounding pupil language use - it allows you to deliver a consistent approach to different staff groups, with the flexiblity built in to dive deeper into specific aspects.
