This year's Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance has now been published.
You can find the full guidance document on gov.uk
Revisions to the statutory guidance are minimal but do introduce the requirement for schools to carry out an online search on all shortlisted candidates.
The other significant change is that all governors and trustees are to receive appropriate safeguarding and child protection (including online) training at induction.
