Legal requirements.

Where can I find websites with the laws covering legal requirements in childcare? I have tried OFSTED and NCMA, but am struggling a little. Thanks in advance

can you be more specific?

do you mean how we interact or general regulations? this is for voluntary organisations but is pretty useful
http://www.wvsda.org.uk/Downloads/Ne...anisations.pdf
pretty much covers what legsitlation they cover
though I'd have a look at:

Health and safety - act 1974, any policies you have and manual handling (act 1992)
Data protection - act 1998, policies again and this also includes any confidentiality policies
Equal opportunites - disability discrimination act 1995, race relations act 1976, *** discrimination act 1975 and your policies.
Un convention on the rights of the child - respecting and treating children as individuals. particuryl articles 2,12 and 16

Try using the Every Child Matters website. They have all the up to date legislation.

Also businesslink.gov.co.uk have a checklist you can fill in as if you were a business and can download the pdf. file. the links from this are great for 202, 302,305 and probably for level 4

The level 3 text book by Heinemann (CCLD LEVEL 3) covers each unit and will tell you the relevant laws. The below listed are the maon ones the L3 looks at and repeats on several times also forthose of you doing the full framework which includes the Btec or Tech Cert they will also be covered in there too

Health and Safety Act
Children Act
Data Protection Act
Human Rights and the Rights of a child are within this under the UN CONVENTION
DDA - Disability Discrimination Act
SENDA Special educational Needs and disability Act
Freedom of Informarion Act
COSHH
Race Relations Act
