Health, hygiene and infection control in early years

This self-assessment helps you think about your confidence with health, hygiene and infection control in an early years setting. It supports learning and discussion. It does not confirm competence and does not replace formal training, supervision, observation of practice, employer checks, professional judgement or local policy. If you score 1 or 2 on any statement, review infection control procedures and speak with your manager, supervisor or relevant senior person before carrying out related tasks independently.
