Education Library · UK guidance where stated

Before You Teach

Prepare safeguarding, language, access and private support routes before opening a sensitive discussion.

Suggested stage

Use professional judgement about age and readiness. Preview every activity and adapt it to your setting, curriculum and safeguarding policy.

Preparation

Know your designated safeguarding lead or equivalent, current procedures, specialist advice route and a private way for a learner to ask for help.

Discussion agreement

Nobody must disclose personal or family experiences. Learners may pass or pause. Discuss fictional situations without naming cultures or religions.

Accessibility

Pre-teach precise vocabulary, reduce processing demands, allow different response methods and never require public reading.
