The Prevent Duty focuses on safeguarding and supporting individuals at risk of radicalisation. It aims to prevent vulnerable people from engaging in or supporting terrorism through early intervention and support. This duty applies to various sectors, including education, health, and social services, ensuring that organisations identify and address potential risks. By promoting awareness and providing guidance, the Prevent Duty helps protect individuals from extremist influences. It encourages open discussions, safeguarding measures, and multi-agency collaboration to support those at risk. The primary goal is to prevent harm and promote safety within communities by intervening before individuals become involved in terrorism.

A risk assessment involves evaluating all aspects of a childcare setting from a safeguarding standpoint to identify any practices or features that could pose a risk to children. This process helps the setting to pinpoint potential dangers, create or update policies and procedures to mitigate these risks, and assess whether sufficient measures have been implemented to address and reduce the identified risks.

Starting from scratch with termly trackers in childminding involves creating a system to track children’s development. These trackers help monitor progress in key areas like communication, physical development, and social skills. Set clear, measurable goals for each child based on their individual needs. Use the trackers to identify strengths and areas requiring further support. Regularly update the trackers and share progress with parents. Termly trackers ensure a comprehensive overview of each child’s growth and learning. They align with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and support effective planning for future activities and interventions.

Termly trackers are tools used by educators and childminders to monitor children’s progress and development over a school term. These trackers help document achievements, areas of improvement, and specific milestones. They provide a clear overview of a child’s learning journey, enabling timely interventions when needed. Termly trackers cover various areas such as communication, physical development, and social skills, aligning with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). By using these trackers, educators can tailor learning plans to individual needs, ensuring that each child receives the support they require for optimal growth and development.

When applying to become a childminder, you will undergo an inspection by Ofsted or your local authority. Expect the inspector to assess your home environment, safety measures, and suitability for caring for children. They will review your qualifications, training, and understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The inspector will also evaluate your policies, risk assessments, and daily routines. During the inspection, be prepared to demonstrate how you plan to support children’s development, health, and wellbeing. The outcome will determine whether you meet the required standards to become a registered childminder.

Modern-day witchcraft involves the practice of occult rituals, spells, and beliefs that some view as harmful. Children exposed to witchcraft may experience confusion, fear, or emotional distress. The influence of such practices can negatively affect their mental health, relationships, and development. Parents and guardians should be aware of the potential risks and take steps to protect children from harmful ideologies. Engaging in open discussions and promoting positive, healthy belief systems can help shield children from these harmful influences. It’s essential to provide guidance and support to ensure children’s emotional and psychological well-being remains intact.
