Supervision and staff deployment in early years settings

This self-assessment helps you reflect on your confidence in supervising staff and deploying them safely in an early years setting. It focuses on staff ratios, supervision, suitability and safe day-to-day decisions. It helps identify confidence, learning needs and areas to discuss. It does not confirm competence. It does not replace formal training, supervision, observation of practice, employer checks, professional judgement or local policy. If you score yourself low, review the relevant learning, practise safely within your role and discuss development needs in supervision.
