A safe learning environment

Of course, children’s safety is the top priority for any early years setting. Everyone in your early years setting, including parents, carers and other visitors, should be equipped to take responsibility for their own and others' safety. Your setting is responsible for each child in its care, and you should have a whole-setting safety policy. It is your responsibility to understand and conform to your setting’s policy. It should include regional or national regulations, and safeguarding and eSafety guidance.
