Staffordshire safeguarding self assessment tool for early years providers
Staffordshire County Council (SCC) in conjunction with Staffordshire Safeguarding Children’s Partnership (SSCP) and Entrust have produced a safeguarding self-assessment tool for childcare providers. The audit tool is now a working document and providers are urged to print out this document and start working through it in their assessments.
In any instances where a provider is faced with complex circumstances which is not straightforward and is considering whether to make a referral to Staffordshire Families Integrated Front Door (SFIFD), a call can be made to the Education Safeguarding Advice Service (ESAS) for further guidance and support.
