Develop and Implement Policies and Procedures to Support the Safeguarding of Children and Young People.
Develop and implement policies and procedures to support the safeguarding of children and young people.
508 LO 4.1/4.2
In my setting we work closely with the child and parents and have a duty to ensure the safety and welfare of every child. We want all parents to feel safe and secure about leaving their child in our care. We follow the EYFS and this states ‘The provider must take necessary steps to safeguard and promote the welfare of children’. Therefore as practitioners we are responsible for ensuring that our policies, procedures and practices effectively safeguard each child our care. And that all staff are responsible and understand about safeguarding and how we use this in our setting to keep everyone safe.
In using the EYFS I am promoting the four themes –A unique child, Positive relationships, Enabling Environment = Learning and Development. From this we follow the key principles and put into them into practice in the setting. In our setting part of our job is to empower children and young people. If they feel confident and self-assured they are more likely to feel safe. It is my and other staff’s responsibility to help make them feel empowered and protect themselves. Using different ideas and technics helps staff to feel confident in supporting children to keep safe. * Teaching children it’s ok to say NO to people they know and people they don’t. Some children find it difficult to respond to their peers, doing activities where they interact and take use their ideas to promote play helps them to boost their confidence and learn what they enjoy and what they don’t. * Helping children to understand the difference between good and bad touching and how we can interact with others. Sometimes children don’t understand being ‘over friendly’ to their peers. Role modelling behaviour helps them to understand how not all children like to be touched, hugged or hold hands and learn what different people like and how we should behave with our peers. *
