KCSIE - Keeping Children Safe in Education

Disclosure

When a student discloses abuse of any kind, you might be the first person they’ve communicated with. Handling the disclosure sensitively and appropriately will make sure student welfare is properly prioritised. Understanding your responsibilities will help you remain calm, supportive, and child-centred in your approach. And overcoming the potential barriers to disclosure will help you contribute to a safe and protective educational environment. This course will explain how disclosure works.
