🎯 “KCSIE 2026 Draft – What Hasn’t Changed (But Still Trips Schools Up)”

Some safeguarding failures aren’t about new guidance – they’re about basics still going wrong.

Common weak spots:

• ❌ Staff unsure how to record a concern

• ❌ DSL overloaded with no realistic cover

• ❌ Policies exist but aren’t understood

• ❌ Governors unclear on safeguarding duties

• ❌ Online safety policy outdated

• ❌ Training too theoretical

  
  

  Strong safeguarding is practical, not performative. Quick audits now prevent big issues later.
