Safeguarding and Prevent
Heart of England Training is committed to the safeguarding of learners and expects everyone to share these values. ‘Safeguarding looks at keeping children, young people and vulnerable adults safe from a wide range of potential harm and delivers preventative action, not just reaction.’ ‘Prevent is part of the UK’s counter terrorism strategy, preventing people from becoming involved in terrorism.’ Heart of England Training is committed to ensuring that you are kept free from harm and not exposed to any extremist ideologies. We expect our learners to commit to our policies to help ensure a safe and happy learning experience.

Publication of the NEW KCSiE (Keeping Children Safe in Education) 2024
The Department for Education (DfE) has published an updated version of its statutory KCSiE for schools in England, which will comes into force on 1st September 2024. There has been several changes in the terminology used as part of the guidance. The Equality act has also been updated to encourage a more positive action when dealing with particular disadvantages affecting pupils or students. A new paragraph that has been added is surrounding forced marriage that outlines that as of February 2023 this was made a crime. You can find a full resource pack for this.
