This E-learning course has been developed by the Education Safeguarding Service to enable childminders and their supporting staff to understand and carry out their statutory responsibilities as highlighted within the ‘Early Years Foundation Stage’ (EYFS) and ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children’.
This course explores the specific procedures and support available in Kent, including the Kent Safeguarding Children Multi-Agency Partnership (KSCMP) Levels of Support, Integrated Children’s Services and the ‘Front Door’.
Registered Childminders outside of Kent can access this course, however, they will need to undertake independent research to ensure they understand their own local guidance and processes. This course is only for eligible/registered Childminders.
