Safeguarding Policy

[Helen Dempster]

Hello Everyone!

I'm trying soooooo hard to get my paperwork up to scratch and I'm a bit stuck on my Safeguarding policy (under the new EYFS). I've already got a mobile phone/photos one, that's separate, but need a helping hand with the actual safeguarding one please - as to who to inform if there's an allegation, how many days etc.... Has much changed? Has anyone got an example of one I could possibly look at (I promise I won't copy it, I just need a bit of a guide)?

Thanks in advance x

There are lots online if you take the best bits from them.

The most important things to include - what you would do if an allegation was made against you / a visitor / an assistant/ a member of your family; what you would do if a child disclosed abuse; mobile phone and camera use; signs of abuse... those sorts of things.

AT the end you need phone numbers for police, LSCB, Social Services etc...

Does your LA or LSCB have a standard one you can add to? Most do... :D
