Bullying Safeguarding Staff Training Pack

Train staff on spotting the signs and indicators of bullying, including cyberbullying and prejudice-based and discriminatory bullying, with this flexible safeguarding training pack. With a ready-made presentation to deliver to staff, two accompanying safeguarding scenarios on bullying, quiz questions, a discussion prompt and 3 one-minute guides to send and display, this whole pack works seamlessly to train staff in safeguarding and keeping children safe.

Created from content in KCSIE 2023, this helpful bundle contains four resources that work together to create a full training package about safeguarding and bullying (child-on-child abuse).

1. Staff Training Presentation - Bullying: A ready-to-deliver 28-slide PowerPoint presentation that outlines the signs and indicators of bullying, including cyberbullying and prejudice-based and discriminatory bullying, followed by slides that allow staff to consider and discuss what puts pupils at greater risk, other factors to be aware of and what actions they should take. The presentation has built in discussion questions and finishes with a scenario and quiz to check staff understanding about bullying.

2. Scenarios - Bullying / Prejudice-Based and Discriminatory Bullying (LGBT+): Two editable scenarios that outlines fictional situations where bullying is occurring. Both include full commentary and guided considerations for the DSL or staff member leading the child protection training. Use them to gauge how effectively staff can identify the signs of abuse as well as how they’d respond in a real-life context, including further actions they’d take.

3. Quiz and Discussion - Bullying: There are five challenging multiple choice quiz questions that test your staff members’ understanding of bullying, plus a discussion prompt that can be used to kickstart your training session or as a follow-up question a few weeks later.

4. Safeguarding Snapshots - Bullying / Cyberbullying / Prejudice-Based and Discriminatory Bullying: These one-page, one-minute guide are perfect for following up the session by using as a training handout, displaying in your staff-only spaces or sending as part of a safeguarding e-bulletin. There are three included in this training bundle.

The pack is purposefully designed to be flexible to suit your busy school. You could deliver the training in one slot by utilising the presentation, scenario, quiz and snapshot together. Alternatively, deliver the initial CPD by using the presentation, then use the scenario and quiz questions in later staff meetings or future safeguarding training sessions, with the snapshot used as a reminder of the training content.
