Safeguarding

​

Safeguarding is Everyone's Responsibility.  I have been an Early Years practitioner for over 19 years and have a sound knowledge and understanding of safeguarding and the roles of responsibilities in keeping children safe in education.   Children learn best when their individual needs are met and they feel happy, safe and secure with positive relationships with adults caring for them.  My home and garden have been thoroughly risk assessed and every time we go out on a trip, I perform a written risk assessment and consistently review risks throughout the day.  I include the children with this process consistently to develop their own self awareness of keeping safe and independence.  I always try to visit new places first with my own family before taking minded children to facilitate this process.

When a family joins Ewe and Me Childcare, they are given a New Starter Pack with all of my comprehensive policies, including my Safeguarding Policy. 

I have consistently reviewed and updated my knowledge and understanding of all Safeguarding yearly and Paediatric First Aid training every 3 years.
