The Department for Education (DfE) has published the 2025 update to the Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) statutory guidance. This is another reminder that safeguarding never stands still – and neither can schools.
The new guidance came into effect this week. While most changes are technical, the emphasis on online safety and the addition of new resources for schools and teachers stand out as key themes.
Key changes in the 2025 KCSIE Guidance
- Online safety and technology
- Stronger focus on online risks such as misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories.
- New DfE self-assessment tool to help schools meet filtering and monitoring standards.
- Link to the DfE’s AI in Education guidance to support safe technology use.
