The Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum (KS:CPC) is required for all children and young people in our school. It’s taught each year by teachers who have completed a full-day KS:CPC training course.  

It teaches children to:

  • understand what touching is appropriate and inappropriate  
  • understand ways of keeping themselves safe.
