What is defined as good practice in protecting children in nurseries?

Question

this is for a assignment question. just needed to know about child protection policies etc.

Answer 1

Good practice in a setting would be:

- child protection policy

- staff training

- effective curriculum

- how to manage allegations against staff

- safe recruitment & selection of staff

- whistleblowing

- health and safety

- monitor attendance

- anti-bullying policy.

You should always listen carefully to a child & make accurate notes, using only the child's own words, do not ask the child any questions as this may be seen as leading the child.

It is important to inform the designated person within the setting asap & most importantly you must inform the child that he/she has done nothing wrong, however you cannot keep the information a secret so do not promise this to the child.

Backgrouds checks and fingerprinting of all employees.  Electronic Access systems on all entrances/exits to the school.  Video cameras in all the classroom, that also have audio.  These are some of the major things that need to be done in preschools anywhere in this world.
