Kidsafe Registered Schools

Kidsafe Registered Schools show commitment to safeguarding children. It also sends a very clear message to the community that there is zero tolerance to any form of abuse within the school.

Each school on the initiative becomes a Kidsafe Registered School. Part of the commitment schools make to the initiative is to agree that the Kidsafe trained member of staff attends annual refresher training to keep their skills updated and current and for the school to maintain their Kidsafe Registered School status.

Kidsafe maintains a commitment to schools registered by regularly providing trained tutors with new material to reflect the ever changing climate in relation to safeguarding children and young people. Examples of good practice in relation to this is the launch of the EYFS programme which is being extremely well received in schools, also the launch of the year 3/4 cyber safety workshop which is now available to tutors as a resource addressing the ever increasing issue of cyber bullying with children at a much earlier age.

We piloted our first annual refresher training day in January 2012 since the pilot course 95% of schools have continued to re-register, this enhances the long-term sustainability of Kidsafe and ensures that many more children will be taught the skills necessary to keep themselves safe from all forms of abuse and harm. At December 2016 we have trained over 460 tutors.

The Training for Tutor initiative has been supported by the Northern Rock Foundation, BAE Give as you Earn and the Sir John Fisher Foundation.
