Assignment 1
Current Legislation Covering Homebased Childcare And The Role Of The Regulatory Bodies

Promotion of equal opportunities in all settings is essential, and relevant policies and procedures should be developed, monitored and assessed.
Education Act (1997)
This Act incorporates all previous Acts since 1944. It recognise the rights of parents regarding their children’s education and set a time frame on the legal process for identifying and assessing a child’s needs as set out in the Code of Practice.
Public Health (Control of Disease) Act (1984), RIDDOR (1995) and Health Protection Agency Act (2004)

The Human Rights Act 1998
