[sandy64]

hello all just had my network coordinator here to assess me everythink went very well but, whilst doing different things with 3 lo all age 3.we were discussing stranger danger child age apropriate (all parents were informed they think its great) this following on from a story topic we are doing she said i have to have written permission to discuss this why??? i have signed policys for safety saying what i do to keep lo safe and how (which is what i was doing surely) signatures for obs and activitys. i do constant rd safety and dont have signatures i risk assess. when i asked her how she would do it she just said its up to me so yes im confused would love to hear your opinions please.

you have to have written permission to talk about 'stranger danger' ???

that sounds very odd to me!

espeically as you have informed parents, you have a safety policy, permission for activities & obs ....

what are you planning to do? go out and find a 'stranger' ? !!

goodness, what are you going to say to the children 'sorry, we can't talk about that, i don't have permission' ???

[sandy64]

well im glad you think like me i was getting worried il see what others think before i ring her when i had ofsted we chatted bout safety whilst doing puppet show she said what a great way to teach kids im so confused maybe i need to retire lol

[messyplay]

they will be asking for permission to talk about road safety next. how much more paperwork do they want us to do

[FizzysFriends]

I can't see why you would need permission unless u r planning on taking them to a shopping centre and leaving them on their own, lol

[miffy]

Oh I think you should ring her and ask her WHY??????????

Makes no sense to me at all!

well that made me laugh thanks for cheering me up

That is rediculous in my opinion, they can not seriously expect this, we will have to have permission to speak full stop soon!

I echo Miffy's advice

[babydayz]

We are going to have to have a permission form that they have to sign to say that they can give permission soon

Hi, what a load of rubish! Schools, nurseries dont. Next time you see her ask her where it says that in the EYFS . I think they just say anything, if they cant think of anything to pick you up on, in my experience anyway!

Good for you! If your DO is asking you to do something then she should have her facts right. You questioned what she told you and rightly so.
