Cypop 5 Task 2 Behaviour

Behaviour Management
Policy

All children and adults are treated with equal concern and are made to feel welcome in my setting. I aim to offer a quality childcare service for parents and children. I recognise the need to set out reasonable and appropriate limits to help manage behaviour of children in my care.

All parents will receive a copy of my behaviour policy in their welcome pack and will have access to my policy and procedures folder.

I agree methods to manage a child's behaviour with the parents before the placement starts. These methods are discussed with parents during initial meetings before the contract is signed to ensure appropriate care can be provided.

Wherever possible I try to meet parents' requests for the care of their child according to their values and practices. Records of these requirements are agreed and kept attached to the child record forms. These records are reviewed and updated during parents evenings and meetings with the parents.

I expect parents to inform me of any changes in the child's home circumstances, care arrangements or any other change which may affect the child's behaviour e.g. new baby, parents' separation, divorce, new partner or any bereavement. All information shared with me will be kept confidential unless there appears to be a child...
