Use it to check that your safeguarding arrangements comply with statutory safeguarding guidance.
It’s based mainly on Keeping Children Safe in Education but also draws on:
- Working Together to Safeguard Children
- Prevent duty guidance
- Children missing education guidance
- EYFS statutory framework
If you’re looking to audit staff members’ and governors’ safeguarding knowledge too, subscribe to The Key Safeguarding to access assessment tools that will help you test and record how much they know (membership also includes elearning courses, factsheets and more).
How often to use the audit
Complete the audit annually, or more frequently if you identify a large number of issues that need immediate action.
Also check whether your local safeguarding arrangements specify how often you must audit your safeguarding – and whether your safeguarding partners have an audit they expect you to use.
