This course will highlight with delegates a range of recently updated documents from the DfE and elsewhere which impact on school policies and procedures. It will consider the implications for school routines and how policies, procedures and practices might best be amended.
Aims of the course
It’s not always easy to know what has changed; sometimes it takes a while for changes to filter down to school level and schools may find themselves behind the curve. This course seeks to raise awareness of what’s new and enable delegates to consider how best to update documentation and practice. As it is the first course of this nature we will look back over a couple of years, but will focus more on the last 12 months. The course will not cover the recent changes in NMS and the EYFS Framework, since these are covered in other courses.
Learning Objectives
The course will provide delegates with an awareness of what has changed, for example, in the DfE’s July 2022 updates to behaviour guidance and searching, screening and confiscation guidance. It will help delegates understand and respond to the impact of Brexit on staff recruitment requirements and the implications of recent changes regarding the disclosure of convictions.
