Course description
These centre-based courses can be attended by any governor in EYFS settings, primary, secondary, special, independent schools and academies.
The Governance Handbook makes it clear that there is “A duty on the boards of maintained schools, and academy trusts, to have arrangements in place to ensure that they:
· Carry out their functions with a view to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children; and
· Have regard to the statutory guidance issued by the Secretary of State in considering what arrangements they need to make”.
From 1st September 2023 statutory guidance changed, and all governors should receive appropriate safeguarding training.
Keeping Children Safe in Education 2023
Part 2 – 81. Governing bodies and proprietors should ensure that all governors and trustees receive appropriate safeguarding and child protection (including online) training at induction. This training should equip them with the knowledge to provide strategic challenge to test and assure themselves that the safeguarding policies and procedures in place in schools and colleges are effective and support the delivery of a robust whole school approach to safeguarding. Their training should be regularly updated.
