Hello, I am currently (madly) writing policies before my pre-reg visit (I know I dont have to have them all before Mrs O's arrival, but I am trying to get ahead of the game!!
I have a question.... I am putting a statement in my policy that If I deem it unsafe for the child to go into the parents care when they come to collect then (due to drinking or drugs) I wont let them go home. I will keep them in my care until another responsible adult comes to collect them, failing that until I can contact social services.
Is this ok to put? I am guessing If I am that concerned about a childs welfare then I would ring social services and Ofsted anyway?
Thanks in advance :)
