Keeping children safe in education 2024

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families has a role to play. In order to fulfil this responsibility effectively, all practitioners should make sure their approach is child centred. This means that they should consider, at all times, what is in the best interests of the child. The guidance explains how to protect children from harm, including physical or emotional abuse, bullying, neglect and online dangers.

Please note, it is a mandatory Department for Education requirement that all school and college staff must read part 1 of this guidance.

Guidance for Safer Working Practice for professionals working in education settings

All adults who come into contact with children and young people in their work have a duty of care to safeguard and promote their welfare.  It is important that all adults working with children understand that the nature of their work and the responsibilities related to it, place them in a position of trust. This guidance provides clear advice on appropriate and safe behaviours for all adults working with children, in all settings and in all contexts. Whether you are an experienced teacher or new to the classroom, this guidance will help you establish the safest possible learning and working environments which safeguard children and yourself.

Justteachers Guidelines on the use of  Mobile Phones, Removable Hardware and Social Media  

Justteachers recognises that mobile phones, and electronic devices are now an integral part of our culture and can be of considerable value in education, particularly in relation to personal safety, however, personal mobile phones  and removable hardware also have the potential to be used inappropriately. Make sure you follow these guidelines to ensure you are using electronic devices appropriately in schools.

Navigating social media is hard enough as it is – but if you’re a teacher, teaching assistant or another member of school staff, it becomes even more difficult. The Teachers’ Standards require that you uphold public trust in the profession and maintain high standards of ethics and behaviour, both within and outside school. Remember, conduct in your private life and online may be relevant to your fitness to teach; bringing your school or your profession into disrepute may cost you your career. As such, we suggest that you exercise discretion where necessary, and follow this guidance.
