Ofsted Toolkit (2025): Inspecting Safeguarding
Ofsted Toolkit (2025) – Inspecting Safeguarding | CPD Explainer
This CPD video explores the new Ofsted Inspecting Safeguarding Toolkit (2025) and explains what it means for schools, colleges, and education providers. It is designed to help leaders and staff understand how safeguarding is evaluated during inspections and how best to demonstrate a strong safeguarding culture.
The session breaks down the toolkit and explains how inspectors will approach safeguarding, including the key principles they focus on, how leadership and governance are linked to safeguarding culture, what inspectors expect from staff, DSLs, and governors, the types of evidence inspectors look for, and how safeguarding impacts overall judgments.
This training is particularly useful for headteachers and senior leaders, designated safeguarding leads (DSLs), governors and trustees, and staff preparing for inspection. It provides clear and practical insights into the inspection process and will help education professionals show that safeguarding is embedded in practice across their setting.
