Policy & Procedure Folder


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi I just wondered how you all presented your policy folder to parents?

 

Ours are under the headings:

Being Healthy

Staying Safe

Enjoying & Achieving

Making a Positive Contribution

Documentation

 

Do you do it any differently?

Do you mind me asking what policies/evidence you have under Enjoying and Achieving?

we have the room layout - always been there don't know why as we are pack away things move around all the time, so is irrelevant.

We have put the cards from the EYFS pack there as good a place as any when reviewing policies!

Daily timetable

 

What else should be there?

gosh cant remember without looking and it is at my setting and we are snowed in at min.

 

We too are pack away, i have a room layout but we dont change it round often unless something isnt working then we look at lots of things eg well being and invovlement before we move or not.

 

 

my cards are with the EYFS pack that stays at the setting - we each have our own at home

my plan is in my operational file along with daily timetable and rotas

 

i will try to remember to get back to you when i am back next week

Hi thumperrabbit

 

During the Easter holidays i am sorting out the policies. At the moment i have them in alphabetical order in a large folder. I like the thought of putting them under the headings - being healthy - staying safe, etc. What policies do you put under what headings?

 

I also have a Sun Protection policy but it isn't very comprehensive. It says about ensuring children are not overexposed to the sun, wearing hats, parents putting sun lotions on etc. but really needs some more added to it. Any thoughts please?

could it encompass other relevant things about being outside - cold weather gear for instance?

We did as Cait suggested and incorporated our sun protection policy in outdoor play, but this was after we knew it was embedded practice. The PLA policies have been grouped under headings as you are suggesting and their policy handbook is quite useful for ensuring the policies are up to date, so long as you make sure you read them very carefully and tailor them to the setting. It was a bit of a mammoth task doing it and I almost gave it up due to the brain scrambling-ness of trying to match our old policies to the new ones, but then the Ofsted inspector commented that she liked the way we had linked our action plans to the EYFS and ECM and so I carried on in order that the policies would be similarly matched. I also made them beautifully colour coded just so they looked more eye catching and appealing in the hopes someone might also read them - I can live in hope!

My policies need an over haul too. Im really like the idea of filing in the areas. I too would love to know what policies you have put in each area. Thanks in advance!! xx

Really like the idea of putting them under ECM outcomes, and improving their look by using colour. That's now added to my jobs list. Thanks.
