    Default Policies & Signatures

    I am currently reviewing & amending my policies. I will then need a set to be to signed by some new parents.

    Is it acceptable to send the policies by email & have a list of the policies that the parents can tick & sign to say that they have read & agree to each policy? Just thought it would save time & paper

    Thanks

    Yes but there are some that you have to give a copy of. Safeguarding is one and possibly others.

    I email all policies to them and they sign my permissions form stating they've read and agree to them. If they want a paper copy, they can print it off themselves.

    What will you do if they refuse to sign on?

    I add a note saying they agree to all my polices and procedures not each one separately.
    When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

    Sorry

    If a parent refuses to sign that they have received a copy of all of my policies I will not accept child same goes for permission forms. All my parents have them on disc.

    Safeguarding and complaints must be given to parents on paper to comply with the requirements of the Childcare Register.

    The others can be shared in any way you and parents agree
