In short

The shorter version of Part one has been removed from Annex A. All staff must now follow the same safeguarding expectations by reading the full 'Part one' of the guidance.

Who this affects: Governing bodies, proprietors, senior leadership teams, and all school and college staff (including those not working directly with children).

Written by AI, not individually reviewed.

GOV.UK’s note

The September 2026 versions of 'Keeping children safe in education', 'Keeping children safe in education: part one' and 'Keeping children safe in education: part one – overview for all staff' are now in force, replacing previous versions. We have removed 'Regulated activity in relation to children: scope' pending an update.
