The why, who, what and how of an effective safeguarding induction for your new staff

Induction and Training Logistics
• All staff and volunteers should be provided with the school safeguarding policy on their first day, or earlier
• Induction must happen as soon as possible and must explain your school’s procedures
• If your whole staff training date is some way off, the new staff induction needs to be a full training session
• Induction should bring new staff ‘up to speed’ so they can benefit from subsequent whole school training courses

Why offer an induction?• Staff should be given a mandatory induction, which includes
familiarisation with child protection responsibilities and procedures to be followed if anyone has any concerns about a child's safety or welfare (Working Together to Safeguard Children 2013)
• All staff members should be aware of systems within their school or college which support safeguarding and these should be explained to them as part of staff induction. This includes: the school’s or college’s child protection policy; the school’s or college’s staff behaviour policy (sometimes called a code of conduct); and the designated safeguarding lead
• All staff members should also receive appropriate child protection training which is regularly updated (Keeping Children Safe in Education 2014)

How to plan an effective induction
• Check if your LSCB provides any advice• Decide whether to induct a mix of roles or as discrete groups• Remember you may be talking to an adult survivor• Give it priority: Induction or training ‘slotted in’ when there is
a gap is unlikely to be effective –SLT needs to give priority to safeguarding if you want staff to take it seriously
• Use a signed induction checklist• Emphasise your availability to answer questions at any time• If you provide a general Induction Pack, ensure all the key
safeguarding information is in there• Evaluation – how will you know whether it was useful?

For safeguarding training
• Develop aims, outcomes and programme• Cover everything in your safeguarding policy • Appoint a co-trainer, or ‘spotter’• Include learning from Serious Case Reviews• Explain national policy updates• Expand staff expertise, don’t just repeat the
same course year after year
