Back to work safeguarding checklist!

[FSFRebecca]

As the start of the new term approaches we review all our staff training to make sure that everything is as it should be (we also review these at annual appraisal). This means:

• We check all managers' DBS status through the update service and confirm with all staff that their DBS status remains unchanged, including their 'by association' status. You can check DBS here (as long as they have signed up for the update service)
• We check all staff health declarations and personal details remain unchanged
• We ask all staff to review their understanding of The Prevent Duty training (Free course)

Thanks for this handy reminder Rebecca! I do much the same but hadn't thought of the refresher on Prevent Duty, which is a good idea.

Thank you. Really good advice!

Not sure if this is area wide but certainly in Lincolnshire if you log onto the Local Area Safeguarding Board there is a whole list of free refresher elearning courses that are really informative and useful too.

I shall look up free refresher courses for a training day too. I was worried about meeting the new 'annual refresher' requirement, thinking of what it would cost for us all! Thanks so much for the info :1b
