Hi, welcome to the site.

Page 92 of this level 3 EYE handbook looks at the responsibility Early Years practitioners have to meet safeguarding, protection and welfare requirements.

Quote: Duty of care

All Adults whether paid or unpaid, who work with or on behalf of children have a duty of care in that they are accountable for the way they exercise their authority, manage risk, use resources and otherwise act to safeguard children. In carrying out their work, the child's welfare must be paramount.

This means that they have a duty to:

• keep children safe, and protect them from sexual, physical and emotional harm and neglect
• treat children with dignity and respect at all times
• take reasonable steps to ensure children's safety and well-being, failure to do so may be regarded as neglect
• ensure that confidential information about children is only shared when it is in the child's interests to do so.

These duties are fulfilled by:

• developing respectful and caring relationships between adults and children
• consistently behaving as a professional adult in ways that demonstrate integrity, maturity and good judgement.

Safeguarding children

• All adults working with children have a statutory duty of care to safeguard children, and children's welfare is paramount.
• Everybody involved in an early years and childcare setting needs to be clear about their role and responsibilities around safeguarding.
• All adults should receive safeguarding informationas as part of their induction, appraisial and supervision.
• Everybody involved in the early years and childcare setting must attend appropriate safeguading training and ensure learning is embedded in practice.
• All settings must have safeguarding policies and procedures in place that are reviewed in line with local and national guidance.

If you need to write more specific information about your own ro,le and responsibilities regarding safeguarding you will need to obtain a copy of your setting's policy and procedures, and also your job contract/description will explain what is extected of you when in work.

1.3 analyse how current legislation and guidelines for safeguarding inform policy and procedure

hello Im also stuck on this one did you get any feedback?

Hi, the following is a quote from page 89 of this EYE handbook:

1.3 analyse how current legislation and guidelines for safeguarding inform policy and procedure

There is one aspect of work with babies, toddlers and young children that must always come first: the requirement to keep them safe, and to protect them from significant harm. All early years settings are bound by laws (described on pages 87 & 88) and by the many laws relating to health and safety.

Schools and early years settings are places where children spend a considerable amount of their lives. Early years practitioners are some of the most important adults that young children will come into contact with. As a staff teasm, they can create an atmosphere and ethos which profoundly affects the child's experience of being cared for, listened to, valued, guided, and stimulated. Early years settings and schools therefore play a considerable part in promoting children's best interests.

An early years setting or school keeps children safe by:

• having effective procedures around safe recruitment, management and its general operating policy; for example, if children are encouraged to speak out when they feel unhappy or uncomfortable, they will be much less vulnerable to abuse.
• ensuring that children's intimate care - nappy changing, toileting, dressing and undressing - is coordinated by a key person. This reinforces the child's right to privacy, and the child would not then expect that just anyone could take them aside and undress them.

If you ask your setting for a copy of their safeguarding policy and procedures you'll be able to see how they're designed to meet the different laws.



Hope this helps
