The Importance Of Safeguarding For Children

The purpose of this report is to ensure that this setting meets children and families’ needs. The Childcare Act 2006 emphasises, children’s welfare is crucial which every registered childcare provider must meet.
This setting was inspected and it was found that it has some things to improve to be able to meet the quality and standard of the early years. The setting was judged in adequate as it was found that safeguarding is not followed properly (see appendix). Inspectors found that staff need more knowledge regarding child protection and safeguarding to be able to the statutory requirements.

Some of the action plan on this report is to ensure all staff get appropriate knowledge and training of child protection and safeguarding. This is effective as it will contribute to the welfare of the children. It may also help staff to build their career development as well as develop confidence. However, it may affect the setting as it needs money to fund training especially when the setting has a tight budget. For this reason the setting may continue to suffer or face closure. It is effective as staff will be able understand child protection procedures in case there is a child at risk in the setting.

Local authority will be able to advise the provision in the implementationof policies and procedures which will be beneficial to be able to meet the legal requirements. The early years professionals from local authority will make sure that the provision meet the statutory framework in order to achieve better grades in future. It may also refer free trainings to the setting when they are available in terms of saving money for other things. The provision may also work with parents to improve the service. I have chosen parents because the statutory guidance (2014) requires childcare providers to include parents as partnership. The setting may have to display notice in the setting regarding signing in and out of their children where everyone may be able to see and remind themselves. Alternatively, the setting may need to arrange a meeting to inform parents how important sign in and out is for the safety of their children. However, this may be hard as some parents are
