hi peepe,
Childrens behaviour must be managed effectively and in a manner appropriate for their stage of development and particular needs.
specific legal requirements are
Behaviour management
providers must not give corporal punishment to a child for whom they provide early years provision and, so far as it is reasonably practicle, shall ensure that corporal punishment is not given to any such child by:
a) any person who cares for, or who is in regualr contact with children
b) any person living or working on the premises
an early years provider who, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with this requirement, commits an offence.
A person shall not be taken to have given corporal punishment in breach of the above if the action was taken for reasons that include averting an immediate danger of personal injury to, or an immediate danger of death, of any person (including the child).
Providers must not threaten corporal punishment, nor use or threaten any form of punishment which could have an adverse impact on the childs well being.
Providers must have an effective behaviour management policy which is adhered to by all members of staff.
STATUTORY GUIDENCE TO WHICH PROVIDERS SHOULD HAVE
Physical intervention should only be used to manage a childs behaviour if it is necessary to prevent personal injury to the child, or other children or an adult, to prevent serious damage to property, or in what would reasonably be regarded as exceptional circumstances. Any occasion where physical intervention is used to manage a childs behaviour should be recorded and parents should be informed about it the same day.
