EEK I don't have a safeguarding folder . What do you have in it?

[cherry]

I put in anything to do with Safeguarding, such as the front page of the new Safeguarding guide, my local Safeguarding Childrens Board phone numbers (they also send out newsletters which I keep) and any print outs of Bullying, Abuse etc. I found these on the NSPCC web site, they also email me whenever anything new happens to do with safeguarding.

Also a copy of my Safeguarding policy.

I expect I do to much but the inspector was happy with it
