Children and Staff:

Under the Children First National Guidelines for the Protection and Welfare of Children 1999, and "Our Duty to Care" Department of Health and Children 2002 it is our duty and responsibility as a childcare organisation to accept and recognise our responsibilities to develop awareness of the practices which cause children harm.

We in Cairdeas Childcare want to make sure that children are protected and kept safe from harm while they are with staff and volunteers in the organisation. We do this by:

• Making sure that our staff and volunteers are carefully selected, trained and supervised.
  
  
• Giving parents, children and workers information about what we do and what you expect from us.
  
  
• Reporting Procedures are clear to staff, volunteers and parents.
  
  
• A Code of Behaviour is in place for all staff and volunteers.
  
  
• Guidelines for the general safety and management of activities
