School Safeguarding Councils

Autumn Term 2025-2026

This term's topics is Keeping Safe in the Community. 

Below are discussion points for the topic. This term, we have tried to differentiate further and has adapted the questions for each key stage, so the 5-11 resource has 2 sets of questions - one of EYFS & KS1 and another set from KS2. The 11-18 resource has questions for KS3 and KS4 & 5. 

All of these discussions can be supported with resources on Pol-Ed. This topic best ties with lessons and resources from the Keeping Safe section. Appropriate lessons that might be useful to teach before holding these discussions have been highlighted on this resource for each year group. For the best and most rich discussions with your young people, we recommend that they have had a chance to participate in at least some of the learning from these lessons beforehand. 

Please remember that the age-range here is a suggestion. Please feel free to mix & match to adapt the discussion so that it is appropriate for the children who are taking part.

Here is the link to the survey to be completed at or following your session. This is very important to have your young people's voices heard within the partnership and to allow partners to act upon children and young people's views. There is also a box at the end of the survey for school staff to highlight any issues that they would like the partnership to know about.
