19 March 2024 n Staff have effective risk assessments for all areas. They consistently check the numbers of children as they move between environments and ensure that only known adults collect children, to keep children safe. However, when staff are working in different areas of the school with the children, they are unable to easily contact the other staff. Their communication as a team is not always as efficient as possible and this occasionally affects the support they are able to give the children. n Staff know who to speak with if they are worried about children's safety, including if they have a concern about another member of staff. They attend child protection training annually and renew their first-aid training as appropriate to keep their knowledge up to date. Key regional managers undertake higher level safeguarding training to help them lead and oversee the practice at the settings suitably.
