Section 1: Leadership and Management<br />
1b) Safeguarding and Welfare<br />
What is this section about?<br />
This section is about how our setting meets the Safeguarding and<br />
Welfare requirements of the EYFS and how this is embedded within<br />
practice. It invites us to reflect on how we ensure all staff, which<br />
includes apprentices, students, part time staff, and volunteers, are<br />
clear about their statutory responsibilities and how this information is<br />
shared with them.<br />
Key questions/ things to think about<br />
1. How do we ensure we are meeting all of the EYFS statutory requirements?<br />
2. How often do we review policies and procedures and who is involved?<br />
3. How do we ensure that all practitioners are aware of, and implement, the<br />
settings policies?<br />
4. How do we ensure we have robust safer recruitment and retention<br />
processes in place?<br />
5. How do we know that all staff are knowledgeable both about indicators of<br />
abuse or neglect and about what do if they have a concern about a child’s<br />
welfare?<br />
6. How do we deal with any complaints or concerns from parents?<br />
7. How and why do we monitor attendance? What would we do to address<br />
poor/ non- attendance?<br />
8. How do we ensure all staff have an awareness of the Prevent duty and how<br />
this is relevant to them?<br />
9. How do we create a culture of vigilance with all staff in our setting?<br />
10. How transparent are our safeguarding systems and how are they shared<br />
with families and other professionals?<br />
