Guest Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Does anyone have a policy they can share with me with regards to animals visiting the setting. I have had a quick look in the resource library, but can't find anything. Have been going through policies this morning and updating them, oh great joys when you are on holiday!
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 I feel sure this has been discussed before - have you tried a forum search? Maz
Guest Wolfie Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 We haven't got a separate policy but it's covered under health and safety - says something about ensuring we have information on any allergies, etc. that children may have on the initial registration form, informing all parents/carers beforehand that animals will be present during the session and ensuring that all children wash their hands after handling animals.
AnonyMouse_7317 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 I have attached our policy to this post if it is any good for you feel free to adapt and use PET_INFECTION_CONTROL_PROCEDURE.doc
Guest Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 I may need to use this - thanks Belle. I have certain members of staff desperate to get a pet for the preschool. I have resisted so far.

Guest Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 I have one from Nottingham council, very comprehensive but well laid out. Hope it helps. Peggy RISK_ASSESSMENT_ANIMALS.doc
Guest Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Thanks everyone - I can now put together a policy from all this info.
