finleysmaid Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 SO I have had a request for a 14 and a half year old to do a 2 year placement with us for one afternoon a week. She is studying her childcare gcse. As she is so young she will not require a DBS but I wondered if because of her age we would need to include her in our childcare ratios???(ie the 1-8 !) might be a daft question really just wondering before I have a chat with her!

FSFRebecca Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I would say no - the EYFS is 0-5 and the Childcare register is just that 'a register of care for children' you are not caring for her. I found this from the HSE which seems to answer your questions and gives very useful advice. Hope it helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had lots of students before but not quite so young and for so long. I'm a bit surprised that the school hasn't contacted me....I might ring them and have a chat before I interview her!. We already have an under 18 risk assessment in place so this is not an issue and the insurance is fine. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
