Guidance to writing Safeguarding Children Policy and Procedures for Early Years Providers

July 2025: These documents are currently under review and will be re-added to the website in September 2025, therefore the below links are not active.

This information is for guidance only.  Pieces of paper do not keep children safe.  Robust procedures and practices do keep children safe. It is the provider’s responsibility to ensure that all statutory legal guidance is adhered to.  Consideration must be given to any changes in legislation subsequent to this guidance being produced.  The content of this document should be used as a prompt to assist your thinking process and not as a step-by-step guide.
