Hi, a warm welcome to silkysteps, to help get a plan together for tackling this can you collect copies of your settings policies and procedures? Familiarise yourself with what they say and know what they mean for you as you go about your day to day practice - ie. how things happen in your seting/plaement eg. for risk assessment, first aid, illness or sickness, incidents, injury, accidents, emergencies .. fire, evacuation & drills, lost or missing child, intruders .. and how things are reported - in what books/logs and the information you are expected to enter.
