Health and Safety in Early Years and Childcare

By Bernadina Laverty and Catherine Reay (NCB, 18.39 for members; £22.99 non members)

This book addresses the need for all staff to understand the importance of health and safety legislation and its relationship to the EYFS. It can be used as a reference book by everyone in the nursery and also as an aid to inspection.

The main themes include taking ownership of health and safety, an approach to enforcement which takes into account the consequences of bad practice, using common sense to apply the principles, and evaluation and reflection.
