Who should use the 'Keeping Children Safe in Education' guide?

Users outside England and Wales should consult their respective national frameworks for compliance.

Which edition of 'Keeping Children Safe in Education' is this, and when does it apply?
This is the edition of 'Keeping Children Safe in Education' that comes into force from 1 September 2026. It supersedes previous versions and provides the most current statutory guidance for schools and colleges to follow from that date onwards.

Can I get help implementing this?
Absolutely! Our consultants can help you implement this food safety system in your business.View our consulting services.
Do I legally need a food safety management system?
UK food law requires every food business to have a documented, HACCP-based food safety management system in place. An official pack like this is one recognised way to meet that, not the only one. You can build your own, but a ready-made pack gives you a structure EHOs know and expect.Get help putting one in place.
Which pack should I choose?
Start with your trade. Butchers and meat retailers use ButcherSafe; shops and food retailers use Safer Food, Better Business for Retailers; registered childminders use the SFBB childminders pack. Caterers, restaurants and cafes can use CookSafe, Safe Catering, the Industry Guide or the FSA's Safer Food, Better Business pack, with versions tailored to Chinese and South Asian cuisines. They all cover the same HACCP essentials, so pick the one you prefer or the one your EHO recommends, and you can buy and use any pack anywhere in the UK.
Can I use this anywhere in the UK?
Yes. All our packs are built on the same HACCP principles and are used by food businesses across the UK. The region shown reflects the authority that publishes each pack; it is not a restriction. Some EHOs even recommend a particular pack whatever your nation, for example a butcher in England using ButcherSafe, or an officer in Wales recommending the Scottish CookSafe pack.
