CHILD PROTECTION POLICY
NO SMOKING POLICY
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES POLICY
DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION ACT
MANAGEMENT OF BEHAVIOUR POLICY
SPECIAL NEEDS POLICY
CONFIDENTIALITY PROCEDURE

Please can anyone let me know of any that I have missed??

CHILD PROTECTION POLICY - This is now called safe guarding children

Thank you mumlove, and I've just redone the training!!! It didn't even twig to change the policy title!!!

Complaints Policy, they were quite hot on having this when I was at the last network meeting.

When doing our ICP training we were given a list of policies we might need. These are the ones you haven't listed so far (might not all be relevant):
sun care,
observations,
arrivals and collections,
behaviour mangement and rewards,
clothing and belongings,
healthy eating, health and safety,
lost child,
nappy changing and personal hygiene,
outings and travel,
partnerships with parents,
holidays and absences,
over 8's.

It is now being suggested that you do a Terrorism Policy - when I first heard this, I thought it was a wind-up, but my network co-ordinator has confirmed that this is now being encouraged. More

There is actually a sample one on the Bromley childminding site.

I think I will have a general policy which states that I will try to use my common sense in the event of any kind of emergency

mine are

Other adults in the House Policy Nappy and Toilet training Policy
Medicine Policy Behaviour Management Policy
No Smoking Policy Sick Child Policy
Accident/incident Policy Hygiene Policy

Dropping off and Collection Policy Crèche Policy
Childminder Sickness Policy Safeguarding Children Policy

Transporting Children in a Car policy TV Policy
Sun Protection Policy Settling In Policy
Safety on Outings Policy Physical Contact Policy

TP, I thought the Terroist Policy was just a recommendation for us living om a Forces Camp!!! Do you have to have one too!

So I have been told, yes, and I am certainly nowhere even near a Forces Camp.

I am wondering whether I should also have a Random-Person-Running-Around-With-A-Gun Policy, an Escaped Tiger Policy, and an Earthquake/Tornado/Plague of Locusts Policy just to be on the safe side.

Sorry but PMSL at TP I've had a horrible down day, mainly down to major tiredness, and reading TP being the way I LOVE her being has just cheered me up

Armageddon Policy?

Just so you known what to do if Bruce Willis goes off into space!

My Handbook, with policies and such for parents is now 40 pages long. Nuts!

Although having said that, Shoshe's policies are FAB!!!!

I second that (Thats where mine have come from ) infact i think shoshe is fab

Hope Ofsted think so.

pmsl, me too

Shoshe, of course they will!! I wish they'd hurry up and visit you, I'm DESPERATE to know how you get on plus find out what they think of your recording of EYFS etc. Keeping everything crossed for you

You are, I'm so desperate, I need a wee!

To be honest just want it over and done with.

Don't blame you, it's horrible hanging around isn't it, especially when you're missing out on groups etc.

What about a What If A Mindee Trips Over My Paperwork Policy?

{grin] The Master(Mistress?)of irony as always You do cheer us all up TP.

Thank you for your help.

Shoshe - your policies are fab, and I am slowly ploughing my way through them. Thank you. Good luck.

Thanks everyone else
