Guest Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi I'm trying to put together a resource about all the legislations that relate to the childcare sector (nurseries, schools, home-based childcare, etc) and to be honest I'm quite daunted by the task I've set myself! So any help would be appreciated A list of some of the ones I've got so far include: The Children Act 1989 Education Act Protection of children 1999 Sexual offences act 2003 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child Data Protection Act 1984 Disability Discrimination Act 1995 Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 Human Rights Act 1989 Mental Health Act 1983 Race Relations Act 1976 Sex Discrimination Act 1975 Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 I know it looks quite a good list but I know that there are more, I just can't think of them. COSHH; Fire Safety and First Aid regulations should be in there but I haven't got around to looking into those yet (!!) Someone today suggested to me to include employment laws as well, which I hadn't even thought of. Any ideas of where I should be looking? Most of the above I researched after finding them in my old childcare text book So I was just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to give ideas/advice/point me in the right direction Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks Janice, that's a brilliant link! Also, thanks to Lolo. I can't believe I hadn't thought of Every Child Matters! Any other help would be gratefully received. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to pick everyone's brains some more before I get this finished! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
