H and S Policy

Health and Safety

In ECD centers we aim to nurture children and guide their development in a safe and secure environment. Therefore, the holistic health of the internal workings of an ECD center is a necessity.

This comprehensive collection of health and safety policies will ensure that functions function, the buildings, and playground are clean and safe and, crucially, the children will be as safe as possible because your staff will know how to react in any given situation.

Health and Safety Policy

It all starts with a detailed Health and Safety Policy. This template includes medication administration. Amongst others the Emergency Preparedness, Head Lice, and Outings policies complement and support the implementation of holistic health, safety and wellness processes.

Child Safety and Protection

In ECD we are obliged to keep our children safe from harm. A Children’s Rights Policy goes a long way towards achieving that goal. The Anti-Abuse and Child Protection Policy guides the way to managing suspicions of child abuse safely, correctly, and effectively.

COVID-19

The CV-19 Policy is aligned with the SOPs and guides you through implementing them. There is a huge amount of information for both ECD centers and day-care centers for children with disabilities (CWD). These pages are free to everybody.
