TASK 2
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
A policy – is a written statement about how you will work in one area of your practice
A procedure are the actions you will take to carry out the procedure.
They should be clear and simple. Your policy should start with a short, clear statement, eg:
POLICY : “It is my policy to keep children safe when they are in my care”
PROCEDURE: List the things that you will do to ensure that this statement is met. Say HOW you will do them and WHEN.
You need to think about your practice and premises and make it individual to you and your home.
ACCIDENT, ILLNESSES AND EMERGENCIES POLICY AT THE EARLY HUMAN CHILDMINDERS
ACCIDENT POLICY
Parents are asked to sign an accident book if injuries occur whilst in my care. Also if a child should come to the Nursery with an injury of any kind, the parent will be asked to sign the book reporting the injury. If a child has an accident at the Nursery, he/she will immediately be taken to see a doctor at Arundel Surgery – or hospital if necessary. Parent/guardian will be contacted immediately. I am a qualified paediatric first aider. If I have more than 1 child in my care, I will use my best judgement as to how other children will be looked after. You would be consulted about this by phone. There is a parent ring round provision in the event of an emergency to inform all parents of children under my care.
ACCIDENT PROCEDURE
In the event of an accident I will:
• deal with any minor accidents.
• write all information, including names of witness(es), in the accident book.
• get parents, on picking up their child, to sign the accident book and read the information regarding the incident.
In the event of an accident in the home:
• Parents must inform me of any accident at home and record it in the back of the accident book.
If I should see evidence of injury on a child which has not occurred whilst in my care and I have not been told about,
