Policies - what to give to parents

[mumtodaniel]

Hi, just getting ready to have some mindees during the holiday and have some after schoolies starting after half term.

What I was wondering, I have now got lots of policies for everything that has been recommended, however can I only just give parents a copy of some of the policies or do I have to give them a copy of everything, just a lot of printing.

Or can I list the whole lot down, get them to sign they have read and agreed and understood, and ask them what they would like to have a copy of.

The other things is, I will get permission for emergency treatment etc, but for any other medicines etc, I presume they have to sign the NMCA booklet when a situation arises, and do not have to get written permission in advance just in case. Is this correct.

Thanks for any help

Hi

For medicines yes the parents only have to sign consent if and when required after having filled in when and amt to be given etc.. signed at end of day.

A friend had her inspection recently told off for not giving a copy of complaint policy to parents so remember this one and ask them to sign as proof of having a copy too.

I give a booklet of policies and procedures precis, plus the full folder is there for reading... then they are asked to sign to confirm they've read and understood all the stuff... :D

i must admit i am not very good when it comes to this i have printed off all my policies but am yet to give the copies to parents :rolleyes:

My parents get a full copy of all policies on signing contracts. I have made the font really small and use both sides of the paper so it doesn't take that many pieces. The parents then sign to say the have received, read and understood my policies. Personally as a parent I would prefer to have a copy to keep to refer to in the future.

In this area of Wales the childminders have been told that they have to give each parent a booklet with all their policies and then get them to sign to say they have received and read a copy. Loads of paper and ink.

Have just spent the whole day editing and printing a booklet containing 18 different policies to give to parents and then composed a covering letter for them to sign saying they have received, read and understood all the policies. My darling hubby, who has spent all day amusing my 3 boys and cooking a roast, is going to photocopy 10 copies in work tomorrow so I will have loads in stock. I am still in my PJ's, no shower and no sign of a hairbrush but have a nice glass of red (from bottle stored in the locked shed obviously in case Ofsted are listening) and a lovely roast to look forward too.

Very well done you! You deserve your roast and glass of wine - which I am sure tastes nicer for being in a cold garage! :laughing:
