blondie Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hi, i have looked on the watchsted site and looking at a settings ofsted they were really marked down for not having made changes in their written policy on child protection procedures. this must have been a recent ofsted (didnt check the date) so my question is - do you think this is the prevent policy? if not what might it be?

bubblejack Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thank you Lashes. Where do you get all your information from. I am Essex also . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I wonder if the Ofsted comment was because there was no evidence that it had been reviewed? I am guessing obviously. I have always been advised to add to the bottom of all policies 'reviewed on (date)'. just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lashes2508 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thank you Lashes. Where do you get all your information from. I am Essex also .

Mouseketeer Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks for link lashes, Dorset would do well to take a look at other counties info for Early Years....the little ours have, providing it's even up to date is stupidly hard to find and lost somewhere among planning applications and when the bins getting collected 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
