Staff handbook 2026

Small teams carry the same training duties as large ones.

Without a training team or a big-school budget, keeping every member of staff trained, and showing it, gets harder each term.

1 of 4

No one owns training

There’s no L&D team, so training lands on a head, a bursar or an office manager, on top of the day job.

Without a training team or a big-school budget, keeping every member of staff trained, and showing it, gets harder each term.

Here’s where it usually breaks down.

No one owns training

There’s no L&D team, so training lands on a head, a bursar or an office manager, on top of the day job.

New starters all year

Teachers, tutors and support staff join throughout the year, and each one needs inducting on safeguarding and your policies.

Hard to show it’s done

When someone asks who has completed safeguarding training, the answer is spread across spreadsheets, inboxes and sign-off sheets.

FAQ

Everything you need to know

Who is Sodium Learn for in education?

Private education organisations, including independent schools and colleges, private higher education providers, private training providers and tutoring organisations. Sodium Learn helps their teams create and manage workplace learning.

Can we create training around our own policies?

Yes. Use AI-assisted authoring to turn your policies and procedures into structured training. Nothing is published until your team has reviewed it.

Do we need to replace our existing tools?

Sodium Learn brings authoring, delivery and tracking together, so it can replace a separate LMS, LXP and authoring tool. Talk to us about what you use today.

Can we track safeguarding and other staff training?

Yes. Create and assign safeguarding training, then review progress and assessment results. Requirements differ by provider and role, and completion alone does not establish competence or safeguarding effectiveness.

How long does it take to get started?

Sodium Learn is built to get you live in days, not months. We’ll talk through setup for your organisation in the demo.

Does Sodium Learn make our organisation compliant?

No platform can determine compliance on its own. Sodium Learn helps you manage learning and keep records. Your organisation remains responsible for safeguarding, training, competence and regulatory obligations.

Are education-specific courses included?

You can create learning around topics relevant to your organisation. Ask our team about available course content.

Give every team the training it needs.
