Guest Posted August 7, 2008 Share 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 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I feel sure this has been discussed before - have you tried a forum search? Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted August 7, 2008 Share 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.

Guest Posted August 7, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I have one from Nottingham council, very comprehensive but well laid out. Hope it helps. Peggy RISK_ASSESSMENT_ANIMALS.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
