Alliance launches new publication to develop and implement an effective safeguarding culture

The Early Years Alliance has today launched a new publication to support early years providers to embed an effective culture of safeguarding.  

Establishing and maintaining a culture of safeguarding is a dynamic process which evolves over time and needs to be reflected upon regularly. In addition, policy, procedures and safeguarding training as regulatory requirements contribute to giving children the best possible start in life, but at the Alliance we recognise that it can be challenging for providers to gauge their setting鈥檚 effectiveness in terms of its safeguarding approach. 

The Alliance鈥檚 new publication, Developing an Effective Safeguarding Culture in Early Years Education, provides guidance on how settings can improve their practice, raise standards and ensure that their provision is child-centred. 

Topics explored in the publication include:  

  • Working in a child- and family-centred way  

  • How to create a culture of open communication 

  • Embedding good practice and avoiding bias 

Developing an Effective Safeguarding Culture in Early Years Education is available to Alliance members for just 拢8.00 and to non-members for 拢12.00.  

Commenting, Michael Freeston, director of Quality Improvement at the Early Years Alliance, said:&苍产蝉辫;鈥Embedding a safeguarding culture in early years settings is not only a regulatory requirement but is crucial in giving children the best start in life.  

鈥淎s such, Developing an Effective Safeguarding Culture in Early Years Education provides guidance, support and expertise on how settings can ensure that they not only meet statutory requirements but are able to embed and maintain a culture which goes above and beyond that.鈥
