Safe Circle 6-Week Implementation Programme

The Safe Circle 6-Week Implementation Programme is a structured, self-guided safeguarding literacy trial designed for primary schools. It allows your school to implement the Safe Circle safeguarding method in a controlled, measurable way before committing to full annual licensing.

This is not a book trial. It is a licensed implementation of the Safe Circle safeguarding method.

What This Programme Includes

Your school receives:

  • A structured 6-week rollout guide (week-by-week delivery plan)

  • The complete Safe Circle Adult Toolkit Pack

  • Staff briefing guidance document

  • Observation and reflection template

  • End-of-programme review framework

  • Email support during the 6-week period

The Safe Circle storybook is purchased separately in print format. One teacher or DSL copy is sufficient for structured classroom delivery.

All programme materials are delivered digitally and designed to be implemented by your existing staff.

The Safe Circle Storybook

The programme is built around the Safe Circle storybook, which introduces safeguarding literacy in calm, age-appropriate language.

Schools purchase the Safe Circle storybook separately in their preferred format (paperback or hardback). Additional copies may be ordered if a class set is desired, but this is not required for implementation.

How It Works

Week 1
Staff briefing and safeguarding literacy introduction.

Weeks 2–5
Structured classroom delivery of Safe Circle using the storybook and adult toolkit guidance.

Week 6
Review, reflection, and safeguarding discussion using the provided review framework.

The programme is designed to strengthen early identification and behavioural indicator awareness, structured adult-child communication, and preventative safeguarding culture within your existing safeguarding framework.

Who This Programme Is For

This programme is designed for:

  • Individual primary schools

  • Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs)

  • Headteachers seeking a structured preventative safeguarding entry point

  • Schools exploring full annual implementation

Programme Fee

£395 per school
(6-week licence)

If your school proceeds to the Year 1 Safeguarding Implementation Licence within 30 days of completing the programme, the £395 fee is deducted from your annual licence cost.

This ensures the programme acts as a structured entry point rather than a sunk cost.

What This Programme Is Not

  • It is not a free pilot

  • It does not replace statutory safeguarding duties

  • It does not provide case management or external safeguarding services

  • It does not replace your DSL or reporting obligations

It strengthens safeguarding literacy within your existing framework.
