Staff CPD

Equipping educators to spot risks, build confidence, and support young people.

Young people are growing up in a world that’s changing fast – from online culture to new safeguarding risks. We design CPD that’s current, contextual, and practical, giving staff the tools they need to respond with confidence.

Our training is:

  • Ofsted-aligned

  • PSHE/RSE linked

  • Rooted in real-world practice (direct delivery with learners, plus partnerships with Local Authorities, Police, Violence Reduction Units, and community organisations — even ex-offenders).

Each CPD is interactive, practical, and builds staff confidence. Because we work closely with Local Authorities, Police, Violence Reduction Units, community partners, and even ex-offenders, our sessions are kept current and updated each term to reflect the latest risks and trends.

Popular themes include:

County lines & Child criminal exploitation (CCE)

Contextual safeguarding, language, and local trends.

Masculinity, Respect & Relationships Understanding

young men’s pressures, tackling toxic narratives.

Ketamine & Substance Awareness

Local patterns, safeguarding red flags, and how to respond.

Knife Crime & Youth Violence

Understanding root causes, peer pressure, and effective early interventions.

Cultural Awareness & Tolerance

Breaking down misconceptions, building inclusive classrooms.

Safeguarding in the Digital Age

Online culture, music, gaming, slang, and exploitation risks.

Outcomes for your staff

By the end of the training, staff will leave with:

Confidence spotting early warning signs

The ability to recognise subtle behavioural changes, coded language, or shifts in peer groups that may indicate safeguarding concerns.

Practical safeguarding tools to respond effectively

Clear, step-by-step strategies for handling disclosures, challenging unsafe behaviour, and escalating concerns appropriately.

Up-to-date knowledge of local risks and cultural context

Insight into the latest trends in drugs, slang, music, online culture, and exploitation tactics – refreshed termly through our ongoing work with Police, VRUs, and community partners.

Clear signposting and referral routes

An understanding of local support networks, statutory pathways, and in-house protocols so staff know exactly where to turn when an issue arises.

Greater confidence in classroom practice

Strategies to set boundaries, foster respect, and create safe, inclusive learning environments.

Staff who feel empowered to share concerns, challenge unsafe attitudes, and contribute to a consistent safeguarding approach across the whole school or college.
