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).
What we offer
Tailored CPD sessions that can be booked as:
Twilight sessions
Half-day training
Custom Packages
full-day training
Topics we cover
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.
Stronger whole-school safeguarding culture
Staff who feel empowered to share concerns, challenge unsafe attitudes, and contribute to a consistent safeguarding approach across the whole school or college.
