A complete whole-school safeguarding handbook for teachers, DSLs and senior leaders, written against Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 and quoted by part.

Built around the point at which safeguarding systems actually fail: the handover between one adult and the next. It sets out the reporting pathway from noticing to reviewing, the decision the designated safeguarding lead is making, levels of need, and contextual safeguarding — harm that occurs outside the home and outside school.

WHAT’S INSIDE
• 60 pages, professionally typeset for print
• The reporting pathway, drawn end to end
• A teacher’s page for the ninety seconds after a child begins to disclose
• Recording templates and a termly assurance check
• A thirty, sixty and ninety day implementation plan
• What an inspector looks for, and the evidence that answers it

Statutory requirement is distinguished from school policy choice throughout, so you know what you must do and what you get to decide.
