Safeguarding policy
I am committed to the highest standards in protecting and safeguarding the children entrusted in my care.
My first responsibility is towards the children in my care. If I have any concerns, I will report them following the Birmingham child protection procedure.
The Children Act 1989 and the EYFS state that the registered person must comply with local child protection procedures.
I will support all children by:
Providing a caring, safe and positive environment.
Encourage self-esteem and self-assertiveness.
Reporting any concerns.
I recognise that some children may be the victims of neglect, physical, sexual or emotional abuse. I am well trained to identify such abuse and will record and report any concerns.
Procedure
As a childminder I will:
Attend regular training and keep up-to-date with current legislation.
Be insured with PACEY.
Access Birmingham Safeguarding website to keep up-to-date with signs of abuse.
Have a copy of the Birmingham Safeguarding procedures to follow.
If concerned about the safety and welfare of a child, will contact Birmingham Safeguarding number to seek advice etc.
Any records that detail any child protection issues are kept confidential, unless asked to be seen.
Communicate with the parents and be clear they will notify me with any worries or concerns they may have about their child. Make it clear that it is important they tell me about any accidents, injuries or change in circumstances that may affect the child.
I will ensure mobile phones and cameras are not used in my home when children are present, and ask all parents in my home to respect the policy. My personal phone will be used to document children's learning. My phone is password protected and
