fimbo Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 As a play leader in a preschool , we work from the eyfs guidelines , what does a school work from ... I know there is the national curriculum, but does it go into detail regarding welfare requirements ? I had an interesting comment from a head teacher last week, and I'm trying to see if the welfare requirements of the eyfs ( in a preschool ) setting, differ to those required for primary school aged children If anyone can point me to some info I'd be grateful !

thumperrabbit Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'd be interested to find this out too. Ive come to the conclusion there must be a separate set of rules, I've come across 2 differences myself this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Schools have regard to the welfare requirements, but there are some requirements that are primarily for registered provision so e.g. you would need to report certain things to Ofsted like change of manager but schools don't because they are not registered - they are governed by different legislation through the governing body. They are also inspected under a different schedule by Ofsted. There are no "statutory welfare requirements" in the same sense in a school above EYFS so this is recognised for practical purposes e.g. schools do not have to have separate policies for EYFS to the rest of the school. Schools are subject to a raft of legislation however that covers much of the same types of areas. Cx Edited July 4, 2012 by catma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
