I read an advert stating that they didn't take CV's because of Safer Recruitment........Now how does an application form ensure that you recruit safely..... perhaps the questions on the application form will filter out the 'undesirables' .......?

Hi Another dilemma. At the end of July our preschool had more children than we found comfortable and it put pressure on us as key people, having 10 or 11 each.

Hi, I'm trying to find out the legal requirement for a maintained nursery class. I'm aware that a qualified teacher is necessary in the class ratio however is this teacher allowed to leave the nursery for meetings and training etc without being replaced by a teacher? Can they be replaced by another hlta or nn? There are 30 children 1teacher, 1level 3 and 1ta. Thanks

We have just been informed by our local authority that the termly SENCO briefings which we should attend will now be chargeable at £25 per year. I'm not really up on the new Sen code of practice but is this legal? Do we HAVE to attend these? Should the LA have to provide these free of charge to meet their statutory duties? Anyone know??
