Every school in England must have a written child protection and safeguarding policy under KCSIE 2025. The policy must be reviewed at least annually and signed off by the governing body before the start of each academic year. It must reflect the specific context of the school, name the DSL and deputy DSLs, and be consistent with local safeguarding partnership procedures. This page provides both a free template and a premium AI-generated version customised for your school.
What must a child protection policy include?
Statutory basis: KCSIE 2025 Part 2 and Annex B
Important: A generic template is a starting point only. KCSIE 2025 requires the policy to be contextualised to your school — Ofsted inspectors will check this.
