Dear colleagues,
DfE launches consultations on EYFS safeguarding requirements and experience-based route
The Department for Education has launched a consultation on proposals to strengthen the EYFS safeguarding requirements, to ensure our youngest children are kept as safe as possible. The Department is looking to formalise existing best practice with these proposals, ensuring that all practitioners have the knowledge and support they need to deliver the safest, highest quality early education and childcare provision possible. These proposals have been informed by extensive engagement with providers, health professionals, Ofsted, sector stakeholders and safeguarding experts and using lessons learned from previous incidents.
