Hi, thank you for the support.
You have explained your thoughts, feelings and knowledge of what industry standards expect of childcare professionals but you haven't mentioned what you do at work.
Daily practice and the procedures, that if identified may well form the basis of a parent partnership policy.
The EYFS expects you to understand confidentiality and sharing information - what policy explains how that's meant to happen in the workplace and where does it say Data Protection Act 1998 (
page 29 of the EYFS)
Defining confidentiality
In our setting we don’t have a policy on working with partnership - the setting doesn't necessarily need a policy specifically for partnership what you do in daily practice will be governed by all the other policies and procedures that in turn link to the EYFS framework (if you work in england)
eg.
9. Anyone who works with parents should have specific training, qualifications and expertise that are appropriate to the work they are undertaking - you recognise the need for trained professionals but haven't said how it happens in your setting. What policy might explain staff training, do you discuss with colleagues any training that you're interested in? what procedures review staff training to ensure their levels of expertise are maintained and are able to share that expertise with parents? (
page 21, 22, 25, 26 of the EYFS)
We work with social services if we feel a child is in danger as they have the ultimate power to remove a child in danger. Who does, how do they know they need to, when and how do they contact them - how report information in your early years setting. Does your setting's child protection policy explain that whilst social services do have the power to remove a child in danger this will not be the core reasoning you contact them.
We also work alongside the NSPCC, Samaritans and the gps as they can provide information for us to help the child. Who does, when do they, why?
