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. They end with suggested actions to get staff thinking about how they can prevent harm and keep children safe.
