KCSIE 2026 Part 1 Translations
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. That's why ALL school staff must read and understand Part 1 of the DfE's statutory guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education.
In 2026, DfE have removed the option for non pupil facing staff to read a separate annex, and so it is possible that you may have staff in your school with English as an additional language, who are now expected to read a more detailed and complex document than they are used to.
That's why, as part of LGfL's commitment to helping schools keep children safe, we have commissioned translations of KCSIE Part 1 into twelve community languages. These are now available below as free, open-access documents for the benefit of all schools.
Feel free to download and print (buttons for both are on the top right of the page when you have the document open) but please do not upload elsewhere. Only share online by referring people to this page: kcsietranslate.lgfl.net
Part 1 Translations
All staff who work in schools should read Part 1 of KCSIE (English original here). Please access the free translations of KCSIE 2026 Part 1 in the languages below.
READ ALOUD - we cannot translate into every language, but it may also help many people to hear the English document read aloud. You can use the Microsoft Edge browser to do this. Open Microsoft Edge, copy and paste this link into it >> right-click on the document at the relevant points and click 'Read aloud'.
Please be careful about using any Generative AI engine to translate KCSIE. The accuracy of this can be poor and the meaning of the language altered. Our translations combine human moderation along with machine learning, giving you peace of mind about the quality of these documents.
