Safeguarding guidance for early years settings
On this page, childcare providers will find information, advice and guidance on safeguarding in early years.
Staffordshire safeguarding self assessment tool for early years providers
Staffordshire County Council (SCC) in conjunction with Staffordshire Safeguarding Children’s Partnership (SSCP) and Entrust have produced a safeguarding self-assessment tool for childcare providers. The audit tool is now a working document and providers are urged to print out this document and start working through it in their assessments.
In any instances where a provider is faced with complex circumstances which is not straightforward and is considering whether to make a referral to Staffordshire Families Integrated Front Door (SFIFD), a call can be made to the Education Safeguarding Advice Service (ESAS) for further guidance and support.
