Early Years Workers have a duty to prevent – is everyone in your Nursery qualified?
Good Early Years staff go above and beyond every day to teach good values to the children in their care. However, in today’s world it is more important than ever to ensure that the younger generation are protected from outside influences.
Filtering access to potentially harmful websites and knowing how to report suspected incidences of radicalisation and extremism may be routine for the staff in your nursery already, but failure to evidence up-to-date Prevent duty training will mean you lose points in your next Ofsted inspection. While it may sometimes seem like inspectors care more about paperwork than the heart you give to your work, all Early Years staff should maintain an understanding that effective safeguarding policies and procedures are essential to protecting the children in their care.
Nurturing young minds and promoting respect and tolerance for others is simply the first step towards a safer future; the knowledge you gain from Prevent duty training will empower you to protect these same young minds from exposure to inappropriate ideologies, or from being drawn into circumstances that could bring harm to themselves or others.
The Child Protection Company’s online Awareness of Prevent Duty training course offers the perfect solution for nurseries and pre-schools who have not yet completed this aspect of safeguarding training. Alternatively, the Safeguarding in Education: Early Years online training course is essentially three courses in one, covering safeguarding, Prevent duty and online safety – a value for money solution if your setting needs staff training in all areas of safeguarding.
All of our online safeguarding training courses provide a certificate upon completion, which can be used as evidence during Ofsted inspections. You will also gain access to our online management system, where it is easy to access your whole organisation’s records at the touch of a button.
