I have had this signed off, this is what I wrote :)
All early years practitioners should work within a framework that embodies sound values and principles. The CACHE statement of Values is a useful tool for checking that I am upholding important child care values:
Put the child first by:
Ensuring the child's welfare and safety.
Showing compassion and sensitivity.
Respecting the child as an individual.
Upholding the childs rights and dignity.
Enabling the child to achieve his or her full potential.
Never use physical punishment.
Respect the parent as the primary carer and educator of the child.
Respect the contribution and expertise of staff in the child care and education field, and other professionals with whom they may be involved.
Respect the customs, values and spiritual beliefs of the child and their family.
Uphold the Council's Equality of Opportunity Policy.
Honour the confidentiality of information relating to the child and his or her family, unless its disclosure is required by law or is in the best interests of the child.
