Yes, there's a behaviour hat. We don't have a CLLD lead. Our SENCo is called Inclusion Co-ordinator.

 

Don't forget chief cook and bottle washer's hat. Oh and the "can't do right for doing wrong" hat! :o

we also have to have a looked after children officer - this is for any children that are being looked after / fostered (short or long term) or not yet fully adopted who may enter the setting x

It is interesting to see the different requirements each LA places on settings, compared to what is required in the welfare requirements. I can imagine many settings will never have a looked after child, so I wonder how relevant this policy is in terms of the training necessary to fulfil a role that you might never have a need for?

 

On the other hand of course, when you are suddenly faced with the issues that surround looked after or fostered children at least you'll be well prepared!

Where in the welfare requirements does it state the roles?

 

As per usual, it all differs from where you work.

Thanks for your help :o

I mis-read this and thought it said "Executive golfer" which really is taking things a bit too far!!!

No, he's the man of the house who actually earns enough to belong to a golf club and doesn't work such ridiculous hours he can actually go and play, not do barmy, pointless paperwork!

If the list of roles we need to cover are in the welfare requirements, please could someone let me know the whereabouts? My paper copy is at work but if I can search for it online I will.

 

Thanks

Whoo I'm very impressed! I delegated mine to the new manager so she could get her head around the setting! Well that was my excuse. I still have the SEF though :o Do you have a person/hat to do that?

Can't you tell I'm wearing my very fetching SEF hat as we speak? It is purple (inevitably), full of feathers and sparkly pompoms and tied with a velvet ribbon with a huge bow. It also has orange sparkly pipe cleaners drooping down from the brim, with a bead threaded on the end.

 

I'm not so sure about the beads though - that might have been one decoration too far!

Right here is my trawl through the Operational Plan, as promised. Hopefully I haven't misssed anything - but please let me know if you spot a gap...

 

Page 22 - Safeguarding: there needs to be a a designated practitioner who leads on safeguardng issues

 

P26 - Equal Ops: there needs to be a SENCo (although interestingly this is in the statutory guidance part, not the specific legal requirements part)

 

P26 - Illness and injuries: there needs to be a designated first aider at each session and on an outing

 

P36 - Behaviour: there needs to be a named behaviour management lead practitioner

 

P32 - Staffing arrangements: there must be a named deputy able to take charge if necessary

 

Well those are the only ones I can find. :o I thought there would have been more!

Thanks from me too. I've printed that off for my replacement. Think she'll need to delegate a few of those until she's got her feet under the table, lol! :o

Thanks, Maz, for that helpful list -I can use it to delegate responsibility.....

 

Safeguarding = ME!

 

Equal Ops = ME!

 

Illness and Injuries = ME!

 

Behaviour = ME!

 

Staffing Arrangements = ME!

 

That went well :o:(
