Earlier in May, the DfE published a new iteration of the safeguarding statutory guidance, Keeping Children Safe in Education. This includes additional information for all staff (part one) and new guidance on issues such as peer-on-peer abuse, the use of reasonable force and the single central record.

In this webinar, Dai Durbridge provides a brief introduction to five of the most important changes.
