Tes Safeguarding: 1.2 million courses taken in 2022
As schools move on from the Covid-19 pandemic, its impacts are still being felt in the classroom and beyond, and the need for schools to ensure the safety of all their students remains as challenging and important as ever.
Since the pandemic, children have spent more time online, which brings many benefits, but many dangers too. Lockdowns put children at more risk of experiencing or witnessing domestic violence and trauma, with the potential for increased exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) having long term consequences. And many children, as well as adults, struggled with mental health.
Concerns over sexual violence and harassment between children, and extremism and radicalisation of young people, also remain high.
So how does your school ensure that staff are equipped with the knowledge and confidence to support students across such a range of issues? Many schools turn to Tes Safeguarding, our flexible, online safeguarding and duty of care training package, to provide staff with all the up-to-date training they need.
