 The childminder does not ensure that at least one person who works at the setting holds a valid paediatric first-aid qualification. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register requirements.  The childminder does not have an up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding procedures that includes understanding of the 'Prevent' duty guidance.
