There is more legislation that I use in my work. I have given a brief description of each one that I feel is important for my home based setting, others are listed below If you would like to know about these in more detail please let me know. Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations (1981) * cauterize Precautions (Workplace) Regulations (1997) * Toys (Safety) Regulations (1995) 4 Ella OGorman The Regulatory Body also has a very important impact on the way I run my home-based setting. Home-based child-carers must be registered with the regulatory body for their country before they can care for other peoples children in their home.All the regulatory bodies publish requirements, or standards and procedures that childminders have to meet in order to become registered. In England at that place are five general welfare requirements * Safeguarding and promoting childrens welfare * Suitable people * Suitable premises, environment and equipment * Organisation * Documentation Regulatory bodies in the UK * England Ofsted. * Wales Care and social services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW) Standards. * Scotland Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care. * Yankee Ireland Local Health and Social Services Trust.The role of Ofsted is to use the allowance systems in place so that they can make sure that home-based child-carers * control the requirements in the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage. * Are suitable people to provide care for children. * Can promote an environment where children are well car ed for, are safe and their learning and development are catered for. Ofsted have processes and systems to control home-based childcare in the following ways. * Registration This covers take ins on all adults who will be on the premises at the time of operation. Inspection Once registered inspectors carry out checks on the service you offer. This is pen as a report and must be offered to parents. * probe Complaints or concern is followed by an investigation into your service to make sure you comply with the welfare requirements. * Enforcement If requirements arent met then Ofsted can take exercise against you. When childcare providers apply for registration there are 3 different registers. 1. Early Years Register To care for children from birth to 5 years 11 months. This is compulsory. 2. Ofsted Childcare Register To care for 6 8 years. This is compulsory. 3.Voluntary Register For over 8 years. This is not compulsory. It is usual for childminders to go on all 3 registers so that they are covering the total age range. If you are on more than one register you have to make sure you can meet the requirements for all of the registers and show that you can meet the needs of the age range of children you are caring for. To become registered other requirements by Ofsted would be * To be peadiatric first aid trained. * Have an enhanced CRB check 5 Ella OGorman * Be qualified at a stripped-down of level 2 in an area of work relevant to childcare * Suitable insurance cover. Pre-registration visit to check safety of premises. As well as being the regulatory body you need to register with, Ofsted would also require that you inform them of matters affecting the welfare of children * If protection issues arise at your setting. * Any incident of food poisoning affecting two or more children. * Any serious accident or injury to, or death of any child while receiving childcare. Having legislation and regulating bodies in place ensures that children receive a high st andard of care in all settings that a child interprets away from home.This helps give you as parents/carers reassurance when difference their children. Task 2 Accidents, illness and emergencies policy I aim to dungeon children safe when they are in my care. However accidents and illnesses can happen very quickly. I promote good health and take necessary step to prevent accidents and the spread of infection and illness. My premises have been checked and they meet the requirements set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage in England. I also review, update and practise my safety routines regularly including fire drills.As a registered childminder, I am legally required to have a valid first aid certificate. I can lot basic first aid treatment on children as I last did my training in Nov 2012. I have a first aid box which is clearly labelled and kept in the closet in my kitchen which is easily accessible. I keep all parents fulfill inside information with the first aid box. All accidents will be recorded in an accident book, which is available to parents who will also be expected to sign a copy. I have a written permission form signed by parents kept in each childs file, seeking extremity treatment for their child if needed.I check all equipment regularly for safety, and to make sure they are used using their correct guidelines and manufacturers instructions. All equipment is cleaned after use, either on a daily or weekly basis depending on type of equipment. I must notify Ofsted of any serious accidents, illnesses or injuries or the death of a child whilst in my care and any action I have taken within 14 days. If your child becomes ill during the childminding period or I suspect they have an infectious disease. I will contact parents to heap up the child.Ensure that the child is kept home until they have been well for an agreed amount of time. Please refer to sickness exclusion period table which is included. 6 Ella OGorman I have an arranged emergenc y back-up should an emergency arise. force To ensure that this policy is implemented, these are the steps that I follow All parents/carers are made aware of my policies and procedures during the settling in period. They will also be made aware of their responsibilities of collecting their child when they are sick. I go through all the paperwork with them and parents/carers sign copies to say that they agree.If concerns are raised adaptions can then be made. If there is an accident I will comfort and reassure the injure child while making sure all other children are safe and well, in a secure place where I can see them. If possible I will deal with the accident/injury, if it requires further expertise I will ring 999 for help. If I have to attend hospital with the injured child, I will either bring the other children with me, or call my emergency back-up cover.This will be another registered childminder or known responsible adult. These people will be known to you and are named bel ow. If I manage to deal with the accident myself, I will then contact the childs parents/carers immediately. If I obey the child to hospital, I will contact their parents/carers and ask them to meet me at the hospital. If I am not able to contact parents/carers in cases of emergencies then this may be done by emergency back-up cover. You will be expected to collect your child straight away.
