The requirements of legislarion, regualtion and codes of practice for safegurading and protecting children relevant to the home country where the setting or service is located. basically saying what does th law say about protecting children from abuse etc for example if you found finger tip brouses on a child what is the procedure? its wanting you to talk about the childrens act humen rights, ofsted, policies and procedures.
its what is your job and the other staffs job in safe garding the children? this is your filling out accident forms etc and asking parents about bruises etc, its braking confidentiality if you suspect the childs at risk, following procedures, knowing the child well enough to recognise a change in behaviour etc, doing observations, drop off pick up procedure knowing whos collecting the child etc
its also wanting you to talk about whistle blowing wich is where you go to the local athorities when your concerned about staff or if you tell them your concerned about a child being harmed and they dont listen. for example if you saw your boss miss treating a child or not following procedures basically you would tell the police or social services on them. your setting should have a whistle blowing policy.
hope this helps
