EYMP 3 This will fit into Core 3.3
1.
Welfare requirements are a set of legal requirements bought in, in September 2008 as set out in the EYFS. These are compulsory for all providers and are split into 5 categories: safeguarding; the suitability of adults who have contact with children; promoting good health; to manage behaviour; and information and complaints.
Safeguarding
Every setting must have policies and procedures set out to safeguard children. This must include an explanation of how to report any concerns you may have regarding the safety of children. There must be a designated practitioner who takes responsibility for safeguarding in every setting. At my work setting the designated person is the on-site social worker and they are responsible for liaising with local statutory children’s services agencies as well as the Local Safeguarding Children board. It is also their responsibility to train all staff so that they fully understand the safeguarding policy and can implement it in their everyday work. This will help staff to identify signs of possible abuse or neglect as soon as possible. This may include: unexplained bruising, a change in their well-being or changes in the child’s behaviour.
Providers have a responsibility to notify statutory agencies of any concern relating to children’s welfare and must also notify Ofsted within 14 days of any allegations of harm or abuse by anyone working, living or looking after children.
Suitability of adults who have contact with children
It is the provider’s responsibility to ensure that any person who is likely to have regular contact with children is suitable and safe to do so. At my setting, the Centre Leadership Team will carry out checks to ensure managers and all staff and volunteers have enhanced criminal records disclosures as well as staff who work on the premises who are not in direct contact with children. Members of staff and volunteers are unable to start employment/voluntary work until
