Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025 Published

The anticipated update to Keeping Children Safe in Education has been released today (07/07/25).

Whilst many were hoping for a signficant update to this version of the statutory guidance, the DfE have decided to keep their powder dry on changes, in anticipation of a variety of bills and other updates that will impact this statutory guidance in 2026. This means that DSLs around the country will be able to head to their summer breaks with a sigh of relief that the minimal changes appearing in the 2025 update will not require extensive changes in approach.

For a full breakdown of the changes, you can look at Annex F of the updated guidance here.

For a full discussion on what it means in practice, please come to one of our DSL courses or updates where our experts will share these in full!

Wishing all our schools a great Summer break!
