Safeguarding 3.1. The LA has overarching responsibility for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people in their area. They have statutory functions under the 1989 and 2004 Children Acts which make it clear, and the ‘Working Together to safeguard Children’ 2018 guidance sets these out in detail. 3.2. The provider must follow the EYFS and have clear safeguarding policies and procedures in place that are in line with the LA guidance and procedures for responding to and reporting suspected or actual abuse and neglect. A lead practitioner must take responsibility for safeguarding and all staff must have training to identify signs of abuse and neglect. The provider must have regard to ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children’ 2018 guidance. 3.3. The LA has set the following safeguarding criteria for childcare providers as a condition of funding: • All childcare providers must sign up to the identified agreement protocols as set out in the multi-agency safeguarding arrangements, these may include but not be limited to; the Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) compact (and future safeguarding children’s partnership arrangements), to receive Public Protection Notices (PPN) and Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) and the Dorset Information Sharing Charter (DISC). • Providers are required to complete and return an Annual Safeguarding/Inclusion Self- Assessment. Follow up visits or phone calls may be undertaken by the Early Years Team to support providers with developing their safeguarding and inclusion practice. This process should support providers with their ongoing self-evaluation. • Providers are required to address any identified areas of development in their safeguarding/child protection practice identified through observation and Self-Assessment process, or by other professionals. • All providers must ensure that all staff are appropriately trained in safeguarding. Designated Safeguarding Leads and their Deputy Safeguarding Leads must attend the Multi agency training provided at least every 3 years and any other identified training for their role. • All new providers will be required to undergo relevant safeguarding training prior to joining the Directory of Providers for Early Education Funding. • All providers must collate and provide self-assessment/auditing information as requested by the relevant Local Safeguarding Partners. • All providers to ensure that any actions or recommendations set by Ofsted during inspection or the LA during visits are progressed. 3.4. In addition to this Safeguarding Leads, Deputy Leads and Childminder Safeguarding Leads are encouraged to attend appropriate and recommended Safeguarding networks/forums to keep updated.
