answer text <p>In its response to the Women and Equalities Committee’s inquiry into sexual harassment and sexual violence in schools, the Government committed to consider how the Committee’s recommendations could be incorporated into <em>Keeping children safe in education </em>(KCSIE). This is the Department for Education’s statutory guidance which schools and colleges must have regard to when carrying out their duties to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. We want to make sure that any new or revised guidance is fit for purpose and provides schools with the information they require. We will consult fully on any planned changes to the guidance.</p><p> </p><p>KCSIE was last updated in September 2016 and includes guidance for schools on dealing with peer on peer abuse. This includes the following requirements.</p><ul><li>All schools should have a child protection policy.</li><li>The policy should set out procedures which minimise the risk of peer on peer abuse and set out how allegations will be dealt with.</li><li>The policy should address the different forms of peer on peer abuse, including different gender issues.</li><li>The policy should also set out how victims of peer on peer abuse will be supported.</li><li>The guidance is clear that abuse is abuse, whatever form it takes, and should never be passed off as mere banter or part of growing up.</li></ul><p> </p><p> </p><p>As well as addressing peer on peer abuse, KCSIE also contains guidance for schools on dealing with allegations of abuse made against staff.</p><p> </p><p>KCSIE is available at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education--2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education--2</a>.</p>

answer text <p>The Teachers’ Standards 2011 set out that teachers should safeguard children’s wellbeing as part of their professional duties.</p><p>All programmes of initial teacher training (ITT) must prepare teachers to demonstrate that they have met these Standards. The same Teachers’ Standards are also used to assess a newly qualified teacher's performance at the end of their induction period. <br> <br>All trainee teachers are provided with the following at the commencement of their training in each school: the child protection policy, the staff behaviour policy (sometimes called a code of conduct), information about the role of the designated safeguarding lead and a copy of Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), the Department’s statutory safeguarding guidance.</p><p>When a teacher starts work in a school, KCSIE sets out that they should receive child protection and safeguarding training at induction. This training should be regularly updated. Induction and training should be in line with advice from the Local Safeguarding Children Board.</p><p>The Department strengthened the guidance in September 2016 and it now sets out that in addition to training, teachers should receive regular safeguarding and child protection updates, as required, and at least annually.</p>
