Working together to safeguard children (2013)- This policy sets out guidelines of how organisations and individuals should work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people in accordance with the Children Act 1989 and the Children Act 2004. As well as laying out these guidelines, the document also provides a summary of:
The Framework which the EYFS follows is called the EYFS statutory framework; this guides all staff employed in nurseries, receptions and child minders on the correct ways and procedures for looking after children. According to the EYFS statutory framework [2017], “Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances.”
The setting work in partnership the with Local Safeguarding Children Boards and all procedures should be followed as directed. The nursery also works with a referral and assessment team and they will listen to any concerns you may have and will give you information and guidance on how to deal with the situation at that time. The setting also works with the out of hours’ emergency duty team so you are able to phone them and ask for help and advice on what to do next.
Every setting will have to make sure that the children are safe when entering the setting, leaving the setting. When children arrive to the setting, you will have to make sure that they enter the setting safely. When leaving the setting you as a early years practitioner has to check who is collecting the child. There even is a policy in every setting that is about parents and carers collecting their child. In this policy you must take the register so
The potential dilemmas between the rights and choices of children and health and safety requirements are that they are entitled to:
Safety to me is a very detrimental factor in Early Childhood, because when you deal with young children you always have to watch out for their well being as if they were your own. Those parents entrust you with the care of their most prized possession and expect the best from you as their guardian. Young children don’t always know or remember how to be safe, how to be healthy and how to look after their well being. The way that I look after my student’s

It will also analyse the key recommendations from the review, making reference to safeguarding policies and procedures within Setting X, as well as developing a constructive critique of the issues that were raised. The report will make brief links to previous significant cases, underlining their influence on policy and legislation framework
Routines are important to keep children safe as routine provide a consistent and predictable flow of what happens when. Consistent routines in a child’s life allows them to have stability and structure. In my setting there is a clear routine for the dropping off and collecting a child.
Since last two decades Canada being experienced softer and harder forms of neo-liberal economic impetus (McKeen, 2006). Many of these reforms targeted social benefits and divided marginalized people into deserved and undeserved category (McKeen, 2006). At a large level, social policies are shaped by the exploration of dominant ideas about a social issue. Existing political views and the interest of the dominant policy community are predominantly influencing policy making (McKeen, 2006). The mainstream discourses for solutions of social problems and policy outcomes are increasingly underrepresented and narrow down the focus of social welfare in Canada (McKeen, 2006).
You should also have a good understanding of child development so that you can assess whether a child is developing appropriately for his/her age. The revised EYFS includes examples of adults’ behaviour which might be signs of abuse and neglect. If staff become aware of any such signs, they should respond appropriately in order to safeguard children. Even though confidentiality is paramount, it is important to note that reporting serious safeguarding concerns overrides a family 's right to privacy. All childcare providers must have, and implement, a safeguarding policy and procedures, which should be in line with the guidance and procedures of the Local Safeguarding Children’s Board. The EYFS now requires that safeguarding policies and procedures must cover the use of mobile phones and cameras in the
Hazardous work is very dangerous and unsafe. Something no child should do or ever experience. Based on the article from ILO ( International Labour organisation), hazardous work can be many dangerous things. For example, mining, ship breaking, and construction. In fact, according to Spartacus Educational, women and children in mines had the job of carrying the coal while crawling on their hands and knees. This website also states, “children were chained, belted, harnessed like dogs in a go-cart, black, saturated with wet, and more than half naked crawling upon their hands and feet, and dragging their heavy loads behind them- they present an appearance indescribably disgusting and unnatural.” Based on the reading from, NGO Shipbreaking
