Schools (Recording and Reporting of Seclusion and Restraint) (England) Regulations 2025Contribution
As I have suggested, the impact assessment therefore reflects only familiarisation time and the time required for recording. It does not relate to any wider workforce training that schools already undertake as part of their safeguarding responsibilities. On that basis, the assumption of two members of staff—not necessarily teachers, by the way—completing the familiarisation task is considered proportionate. Decisions about any broader training will remain with school leaders, shaped by the needs of their pupils and their setting.
