UK Safeguarding Children
What you'll practise
Responding to Disclosures
What to say — and what never to say — when a child discloses abuse. Practise the exact language KCSiE 2025 requires (Para 15, 16).
Confidentiality Obligations
Why promising confidentiality to a child is one of the most serious mistakes a staff member can make — and what to say instead.
DSL Reporting Chain
The correct route to the DSL — and the escalation chain when the DSL is unavailable. No delay is acceptable (Para 50, 51, 53).
Decisions Under Pressure
Each wrong choice reveals exactly why it's dangerous. No abstract theory — every consequence is grounded in KCSiE paragraphs.
Built for all school staff — not just DSLs
This scenario is designed for every member of staff who works with children: teachers, teaching assistants, admin, sports coaches, and cover supervisors. It covers KCSiE 2025 Part 1 obligations that apply to all staff, including the duty to act without delay, never to promise confidentiality, and to report to the DSL (or escalate when unavailable). Inline KCSiE paragraph references throughout.
