EYFS DSL
Early Years Foundation Stage
The EYFS states ‘Children learn best when they are healthy, safe and secure, when their individual needs are met, and when they have positive relationships with the adults caring for them… Providers must take all necessary steps to keep children safe and well’.
Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage (September 2023) states: ‘A practitioner must be designated to take lead responsibility for safeguarding children in every setting.’
