Policies & Procedures - some links
The statutory policies and procedures which must be in writing to comply with your registration on the Childcare Register are safeguarding / child protection and complaints.
You will find the Childcare Register requirements here (Annex C – CR2.1 and CR7.1) - https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...g_handbook.pdf.
I wouldn’t work without a few other written policies including fees, medication administration and behaviour – you will find more general advice here - http://www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/fo...12-2014-a.html.
Safeguarding and child protection policy & procedures – ideas for contents (updated 05.2015) on the Independent Childminders Facebook group here –
https://www.facebook.com/groups/inde...9765447378196/.
There is updated information for your safeguarding and child protection policy and procedures from the revised (09.16) ‘Inspecting Safeguarding in early years’ handbook here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/inde...7248724296532/.
You will find a copy of the handbook here - https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...s_settings.pdf.
Note that the policy we used to call safeguarding is now being referred to as child protection in statutory handbooks from DfE – I am keeping both in my title as I believe both are relevant so mine is called ‘Safeguarding and child protection policy & procedures’.
You can find a complaints policy and procedures writing guide and a sample complaint record form here -

I wonder if this could do with being a sticky thread.
