So mobile phones are in bags in our disabled toilet! Previous to this they were in bags in the staff/visitors toilet which I have recently changed ......I keep finding an odd bag creeping bag in the staff toilet and sometimes in coat pockets in the staff toilets - I’m just feeling not frisking - the clue is in how long and how frequently some staff use the toilet. Most settings I visit have phones in a locked box in the office, lockers etc - our policy needs to be tweaked I think - shall I make the move to phones in the office? What if someone wants to use the disabled toilet? I know what to do but have always used this forum as my support system…

Hi, how long do you expect parents to stay when their child starts new at your setting. And do you charge parents for the settling in period? I believe it will take children a while to build a relationship with their keyperson, so we have asked in our settling in policy that parents (or other known carers) should be available for at least the first week (or longer if the child needs it). However some parents are not happy about this, they have booked their child's first session the day they are returning to work,and expect to just leave their child with us. Now I do understand parents have to go to work and can't afford to take lots of time off, but we need to consid…

Morning all, Hope your all well and enjoying the sunshine I wondered if anyone had a recent/updated 'lockdown' policy that they would be willing to share? I had my local adviser come for a visit/check yesterday and that's the only thing I am missing. Many thanks.x
