Staff Handbook

[Guest]

Hi,

 

I'm inventing a staff handbook for my setting and wondered what to put in it. Would any of you be so kind to throw some ideas into the pot?

 

Thanks

Your general rules for keeping children safe in the setting i.e. how to use equipment, hot taps, etc. Safeguarding children, what they should do if they are accused of a safeguarding issue. Conduct re confidentiality, use of mo

biles, photography, appraisal process, setting's ethos - brain's hurting now!!

Another crucial one for us is - Who to call if you are sick and by what time you should notify that person.

If you can spare about £20 you can save a lot of time getting the PLA Employee Handbook. Like the policies it is editable so you can make it your own. That is what I've done this summer and just added in some daily routines and told staff it is to be read alongside all the policies (some of which are abbreviated in the handbook). It saved me so much time and stress - now I just have to find enough paper to print it all on.

I have always thought of doing one but how to begin, thank you for the ideas
