Description
Keeping children Safe in Education clarifies how schools should respond to all signs, reports and concerns of child-on-child sexual violence and sexual harassment, including those that have happened outside of the school premises, and/or online. Acknowledging the growing challenge in this area, the course gives staff the confidence to understand the evolving risks and feel competent to address concerns as they emerge.
This 2-hour session acknowledges the breadth of issues in this area and uses embedded videos and scenarios to increase confidence, develop understanding and engage learners to apply the knowledge to their cohort, ensuring an attitude of ‘it could happen here’ prevails.
Focussed on emerging risks and influences both physically and online, changing behaviours & language, and the opportunity to consider how to identify harmful sexual behaviour. Scenarios explore how developmental stage, motivation and context should be taken into account, and the responsibility for a zero-tolerance approach
Available for onsite and virtual delivery.
