Thanks T:With love:

If you look at your Adult Protection Policy - it will tell you of your settings procedures if anyone is accused of something. By looking at this - it will help you think - How can I prevent myself being accused of such allegations?

such as child abuse? do you change a child's nappy out of the room? if so- are you alone or do you have another adult there? Do you have a nappy rota? - where a child is changed by different members of staff to try and prevent one member grooming/abusing a child? I know some children prefer a key person - but these are things you have to think about for safeguarding children.

So, try and think of what a practitioner could be accused of and how would you go about trying to minimise the risk of being accused of allegations?

Hitting a child?
Abuse whilst taking a child to the toilet.
Discrimination/bullying

You will have policies and procedures such as recruiting - crb's (current) training to educate staff on diversity, inclusion etc, contracts with staff signing and understanding that discrimination/bullying etc will not be tolerated.
You will have staff meetings/appraisals where you all discuss (and follow) good practice. Some of this may seem a little removed but if everything (policies and porcedures) is followed it helps prevent anything happening (hopefully) and helps you to protect yourself knowing that you are working for a well organised setting.

There is also a whistle blowing policy - this may have to be used if you felt you were being asked to do something you should not - it's there to protect you as well as the children.

Always share information with your manager/supervisor/teacher, being open and following proper procedures helps you to stay safe - by doing the right thing.

I hope this sets you on the right track.

Thanks ever so much for those links Lynne, really helpful. The end is in sight... ;-)
