Safeguarding is a key evaluation area in the Ofsted 2025 framework, judged on whether a school meets or does not meet the required standards. It refers to the actions schools take to protect children from harm, promote their wellbeing, and ensure they grow up in a safe and supportive environment.

This document helps schools understand what inspectors will evaluate, what effective safeguarding looks like in day-to-day practice, and what types of evidence can be shared. It also highlights how Kapow Primary supports safeguarding through curriculum design, teacher guidance, and resources that help staff deliver sensitive topics with confidence – while helping pupils build a clear understanding of safety, relationships, and online awareness.
