Unit 4 1.2 and 1.4
Health and safety within our setting
In our childcare setting we wish to work with children, parents and the community to ensure the safety of children and to give them the very best start in life.
We aim to;
Create an environment which encourages children to develop a positive self-image, regardless of race, language, religion, culture, or home background.
Help children establish and sustain satisfying relationships within their families, with peers and other adults
Encourage children to develop a sense of autonomy and independence
Enable children to have the self confidence and the vocabulary to resist inappropriate approaches.
Work with parents to build their understanding of and commitment to the welfare of all our children.
When employing in our setting we encourage safe recruitment by checking the suitability of staff and volunteers working in our setting. It is our aim to put systems in place that will prevent or minimise the risk of abuse occurring within this organisation, through the use of an enhanced disclosure, and all staff working at hold a current enhanced criminal record certificate (CRB).
We have a secure entry system which prevents unauthorised access into the nursery and a signing in book for staff and visitors so that the purpose of visitors within the building is monitored and known.
We recognise that every child has the right to remain safe and protected and as such the following elements make up our safeguarding policy.
All staff to understand the safeguarding procedure and understand their role in keeping children safe.
Ensuring that staff know how to deal with a disclosure.
In the case of an allegation being made against a member of staff the Manchester social services MSCB and ofsted would be contacted immediately.
Providing staff with opportunities to develop their knowledge of child protection and safeguarding issues, and be able to recognise the signs and symptoms of possible abuse.
