Nappy changing, toileting and intimate care

This foundation self-assessment helps you reflect on your confidence with nappy changing, toileting and intimate care in an early years setting. It supports learning, supervision and discussion. It does not confirm competence and does not replace formal training, observation, employer checks, professional judgement or local policy. This is a critical risk area because it links to children’s dignity, hygiene, health, safety and safeguarding. If you score 1 or 2 on any statement, treat this as a priority learning need. Follow your employer policy and speak with your manager, supervisor or designated safeguarding lead before carrying out related tasks independently.
