Part 5 of KCSIE 2018 – training requirements
Managing a report
The new Part 5 of KCSIE specifically recommends that staff are trained to help them deal with reports of child-on-child sexual violence in a calm and considered manner.
Reports of sexual violence and sexual harassment are likely to be complex and require difficult professional decisions to be made, often quickly and under pressure. Preplanning, effective training and effective policies will provide schools and colleges with the foundation for a calm, considered and appropriate response to any reports.
