Whether you already employ staff or are considering taking on an assistant you must take time to carefully consider the risks and benefits.
Confirmation that you have carried out a risk assessment is often required when adding an assistant to your registration.
As an employer you are required by law to protect your employees from harm and minimise risks they may be exposed to at work and, as a childcare provider, you have a responsibility to protect all children in your care.
We have added a NEW Assistant Risk / Benefit Assessment to the Childminder Assistant Employment Pack to help ensure you have identified and minimised any risks plus recognised the benefits of bringing in an extra pair of hands π€²π» eyes π and ears ππ»!
What risks and benefits will an assistant bring to your setting with regards to Safeguarding & Welfare, Health & Infection Control, preparing and serving Food & Drink, supporting Individual Needs, Managing Behaviour, Staff Wellbeing and the Overall Quality of Care provided?
We have covered them all in this NEW Assistant Risk Assessment template:Β
