Here is the scenario I am trying to deal with, I have a 2 year old whose mother has mental health issues which include very low self esteem and self worth and an inability to cope with some everyday situations, we allow her to drop off and pick up early so that she doesn't have to deal with other parents as she is unable to deal with groups of people.

We have previously adapted the pre-school learning alliance policies and procedures to meet the requirements of our setting. Has anyone else used these? How have you/do you plan to change the key themes and commitments section to match the new eyfs? Hope that makes sense.

I have been asked to update our safeguarding oilicy to ensure that it specifically includes " examples of adults' behaviour which might be signs of abuse and neglect" . I suspect this is in light of the Plymouth nursery case. I have googled, but can't find specific examples of adults behaviour as required. Can anyone help me out here? Many thanks in advance

Does anyone have an emergency plan as part of their Safeguarding Policy? At safeguarding training this was recommended, to cover situations like drunk parent trying to collect child or harming child in front of staff or parent without responsibility trying to collect. I have had a search around but can't seem to find anything to base it on. Any ideas?

Right after updating SEF, looking at so many examples of planning on these forums and already spending over 30 hours unpaid updating paperwork. I now need to make policies to cover E safety and one for staff coming in to work after they have taken drugs and had some alcohol. Please has anyone got an example that I could look at as I have tried for over an hour now to write one but keep going around in circles with what to include.
