Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2026

At St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, safeguarding is our highest priority. The document below is Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2026, the Department for Education’s statutory guidance for schools and colleges in England. It outlines the responsibilities of all staff in protecting children, promoting their welfare, and responding effectively to safeguarding concerns. We follow this guidance to ensure that every child in our care is safe, supported, and able to thrive.
