Safeguarding children in early years

This self-assessment helps you reflect on your confidence in safeguarding children in an early years setting. It supports learning, supervision 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 your safeguarding children procedures and speak with your designated safeguarding lead or manager promptly before carrying out related tasks independently.
