Cait Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Has anyone written a list for staff already about the sort of things they should be doing in their non-contact time. I'm about to do this but thought I'd check here before I re-invent the wheel!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimms o'clock? Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hi Cait I can find you mine on Monday if you have no takers before then, it's on the computer at work so I will send myself an email so that I remember. Brain like a sieve just now, too much to do in such a short space of time. BMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynned55 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Non contact time??????????????????? What is this please??????????? I am the only one who has this and with staff off sick with broken feet & another with broken arm It is all hands to the deck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimms o'clock? Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) Hi Cait Found mine on a USB so here it is, some of this will be specific to us but it will give you an idea. Non-contact time in our setting takes place in a quiet area of the nursery and staff are encouraged to involve their key children when reviewing/tidying LJ folders? Come back to me if it doesn't make sense. ...now to work out how to attach it?! ...I did it, yeh!!!!

Cait Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks for that and congratulations on doing an attachment! It's quite similar to what I did in the end except I added a bit about observations too - as a reminder for one of my staff without singling her out!

redjayne Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks for sharing that - will be useful as my next staff meeting is about good use of time (including planning/non-contact ) so will adapt this if thats ok ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimms o'clock? Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Your welcome to use or adapt if you wish, I had to spell things out to some staff so often I put it in writing. It's pinned on the wall and everyone has their own copy stuck to their clipboards! No excuses, especially the one about being fully ready for the planniing meeting.

Cait Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Well here's mine so far -still a draft-ish so feel free to comment non_contact_help.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimms o'clock? Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks Cait Some good ideas here too. I have given staff the 5 bullet points you refered to about reasons for observing laminated to credit card size to keep on their person at all times! No excuses for waffle on about nothing, and in the hope that they won't record something they have previously seen. BMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 yes It's from the sicker I made for them years ago which they have on the front of their notebooks. But because it's on the front, I suspect they've stopped looking at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimms o'clock? Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Wow, I'm impressed that 94 people have had a look at my non contact guidance. Would any of you like to give me feedback? Is there anything others do that I might need to consider? Thank you BMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
