Hi, 1. is wanting you to look at all the reasons why childcare professionals, parents, government and children want safeguarding and welfare requirements as part of an early years framework, in this case EYFS.
Rationale comes about from understanding potential outcomes for children and families, evidence and research -
EPPE,
PEAL,
KEEP
The EYFS review Dame Clare Tickell on gov.uk is a supportive read for this.
2. would like you to read through the eyfs safeguarding and welfare requirements, get to know them well and examine what it might mean for a setting to actually comply with them. eg. policies, procedures for protecting children, ensuring only suitable people are employed to work closely with children
DBS, keeping the setting safe from hazards and everyone's professional attitude.
