Looking

the chance to talk to other parents.
The
Pre-School team will be completing a ‘Going to School’ presentation at 6.30pm

excited for school.
We

This week’s activities
Each key person will be responsible for designing
an activity based on their key children’s needs; however, all children who are
in on that day will have the opportunity to access the activity too.
If the key person is on holiday or off, another
staff member will be able to lead the activity in their place so that the
children do not miss out.
For more information on the Early Years Foundation
stage, the guidance we use to support our planning and practice, please visit:

Multi agency working and information
sharing policy
Aim of policy
As
part of our work to support families and children there will be times when we
will work with other professionals such as Social Services, Paediatricians or
other child carers. This policy will demonstrate how and why we do this.
Points to consider
When working with other professionals sensitive
information may be given to staff or requested from them, other policies such
as the confidentiality policy must be adhered to.
Why we need an Information Sharing Protocol
Public bodies and
voluntary organisations often have to collect personal information for a
variety of reasons. These include:
•
to plan and organise appropriate services for people
•
to protect vulnerable people from harm
•
and to prevent crime
Such Information may
vary from basic identification and contact details to more sensitive
information, perhaps involving health records or the involvement of social
services, housing officials or the police with a family in crisis.
Professionals working for councils, the police or the NHS have a legal duty to
keep such information confidential. There are times, however, when they need to
know about each other’s involvement to make sure someone is receiving the most
appropriate service or is not at risk, for example.
Castle Daycare and Preschool aim to achieve this
by:
- Gaining parental permission to share information with
other professionals. In the case of a safeguarding issue parental
permission does not need to be sought.
- Following
the golden rules of information sharing as set out by the Surrey
Multi-Agency Information Sharing Protocol (MAISP)below:
Golden Rules
1. Confirm the identity of the person you are sharing with
2. Obtain consent to share if safe, appropriate and feasible
3. Confirm the reason the information is required
4. Be fully satisfied that it is necessary to share
5. Check with a manager/specialist or seek legal advice if you are
unsure
6. Don’t share more information than is necessary
7. Inform the recipient if any of the information is potentially
unreliable
8. Ensure that the information is shared safely and securely
9. Be clear with the recipient how the information will be used
10. Record what information is shared.
Kind regards,
Jess Smith
Manager, SENCO
