Lost Child Procedure
The care of your child is paramount and adequate supervision is always maintained, both in and out of the home. Should a child ever become lost whilst in our care the following will happen:
I will call for the child and make a thorough search of the immediate area.
I will raise the alarm to all around me, and enlist the help of others to look for the child.
If it is a secure area such as a shopping centre, I will quickly alert the security staff so they can seal off exits and monitor the situation on any CCTV.
I will alert the emergency services and provide a full description of the child.
I will make sure the parents of the missing child aware of the situation.
I will reassure the other children in my care, and contact their parents/carers to collect them.
I will stay as long as possible, following the advice of the emergency services.
I will record the incident appropriately, and inform Ofsted and my insurance company.
Please see my Policy for General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Retention.
However I ensure all children are within sight and/or hearing at all times. When out we will hold hands and ensure the correct adult: child ratio. No child will be allowed to run ahead, for example.
I keep a register of all children and a second register to take on trips and the school run.
