We are a setting that just takes three year olds need advice before we take two year olds as well .We only have one room and nearly all the toys state 3+.We will risk ass and so forth but where do we stand if something did happen as toys state for three year olds use only.Other setting say they are careful but there is always that chance,where does a setting stand legally also surly ones insurances needs to know you have two year olds with three year olds toys,also parents will say that's fine until something happens.Any advice and please from the legal side I know how to risk ass and do other things to keep children safe but also am a realist.

I am new to the job of SENCO. My deputy was our SENCO and has now retired so it has fallen into my lap.

Does anyone have a clause in their policies to cover non payment of fees? We usually do not have a problem with this but have had on-going problems with one particular family for the last year. I should point out that this is not a family in genuine financial need but a family which chooses not to pay and to prioritise different things instead! We have spent a lot of time working with this family and have tried all sorts of different ideas to make things easier for them. They have made some payments, but we have had to resort to stopping the child from attending in order to prevent the bill from escalating. Mum has been extremely difficult and rude. They current…
