I am attempting to fill out the application form to apply for my DH as my assistant and one of the questions is:
Leaving an assistant unsupervised
Before we can allow an assistant to be alone with children for short periods of time, they must first of all have submitted a declaration and consent form (EY2 or CR2) and allowed us to carry out the appropriate suitability checks. Please complete the below questions to provide the information that we require to make a decision.
Please advise if the assistant currently holds a paediatric first aid certificate. There must always be one person who holds a valid, twelve hour course paediatric first aid certificate on the premises at all times.
And then
In what circumstances do you wish the assistant to be left alone, how this is in the best interests of the children and for how long?
My DH doesn't have paediatric first aid yet, but will enrol on a course shortly as he is currently pre-reg.
I am sure I've read on here somewhere that assitants are allowed to collect children from school... or did I imagine it? If I stayed at home with mindees, could my DH collect children from school? That way I would still remain on the premisies with my first aid.
I have searched everywhere and can't find any information. The Ofsted fact sheet is currently being updated and isn't available to view online.:( My common sense says no, he won't be able to as he is not registered and I cannot see the children from where I am at home... BUT I am SURE i've read on here somewhere that assistants can collect from school!
Can anyone help?
