Everything you need to run your own whole-staff KCSIE 2026 update, so you are not writing it at half past nine the night before an INSET day.
Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 is statutory from 1 September. This year every member of staff reads Part One in full — the condensed version has gone — and every setting has to be able to show that they have. That is a real job, and most of it is not the training. It is the reading, the working out what actually changed, and the evidence.
This pack does that part for you.
WHAT IS IN IT
An 18-slide whole-staff presentation, ready to deliver and fully editable.
A facilitator handbook in four sections: what the guidance already says, what has changed in 2026, what it means practically in your nursery or school, and your delivery materials.
A 45–50 minute session plan with timings. A staff quiz of eight true-or-false questions with the answers and the reasoning. A Part One sign-off register you can duplicate. A September readiness checklist. And a short staff email you can send today.
WHAT CHANGED IN 2026
The pack works through all of it in plain English: all staff reading Part One in full; “nudes and semi-nudes” replacing “sexting”; verbal abuse named explicitly inside emotional abuse; modern slavery added to what all staff look out for; a rewritten Part Five built around a continuum from harmful sexual behaviour through harassment to violence; AI-generated images of children treated exactly as seriously as photographs; and the Crime and Policing Act 2026 removing the supervision exemption, which quietly changes who among your volunteers now needs a barred-list check.
Early years is covered properly rather than as an afterthought — reading KCSIE alongside EYFS Section 3, mobile phones in rooms where children are cared for, intimate care and sleep, parent helpers and forest school volunteers, and the five-day file rule for nursery-to-school moves.
WHO IT IS FOR
Designated Safeguarding Leads, headteachers, nursery managers, and anyone who has been handed the September update. It assumes you know your setting and you do not need safeguarding explained to you. It tells you what is different and what to do about it.
Written by Laura Masson — former primary headteacher, Director of Education across a seven-school trust, Principal of a five-site early years group, and a Designated Safeguarding Lead since 2013.
Single-school licence. Editable throughout so you can add your own DSL names and local procedures. Trust and multi-site licences on request — just email.
