  • About you & your setting/s

  • You role within the setting or childcare organisation*
  • How many nursery settings are you responsible for?*
  • What are your main security or safeguarding concerns right now? (select all that apply)*

  • Your Result: YOUR SECURITY IS LOOKING GOOD!

    CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE STRONG SECURITY PROTECTIONS IN PLACE! 

    Your assessment indicates that {q25_textbox23} has strong systems, policies and procedures in place across the security and safeguarding areas reviewed.

    There may still be opportunities to strengthen individual controls and ensure procedures remain effective as your setting changes.

    If you'd like more feedback on the sections where you didn't score as highly, please get in touch. We're always happy to help and believe in supporting all nurseries where we can to improve security and safeguarding in early years' settings.

  • Your Result: GOOD FOUNDATIONS

    GOOD JOB - YOU HAVE STRONG SECURITY FOUNDATIONS BUT SOME AREAS THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM REVIEW

    Your assessment indicates that {q25_textbox23} in general has a solid base across the security and safeguarding areas reviewed.

    However, there are still opportunities to strengthen individual controls and ensure procedures remain effective alongside the regular changes your setting goes through such as staff and custody changes and children starting or leaving.

    If you'd like further feedback on where you lost points, or a free indepth, onsite, security review by one of our vetted security consultants, please just get in touch. We're always happy to help and believe in supporting all nurseries where we can.

    ATTENTION NEEDED: YOU HAVE SECURITY RISKS AND SAFEGUARDING VULNERABILITIES

    Your assessment indicates that {q25_textbox23} has some areas where the security and safeguarding areas needs to be reviewed and improved.

    We're not saying it's all bad, but you're not protecting your business, your team or the children in your care as robustly as we know you want to as it stands.

    Ofsted requires evidence of procedures and policies and GDPR compliance when it comes to security and safeguarding.

    How can we help?

    ATTENTION NEEDED: YOU HAVE SECURITY RISKS AND SAFEGUARDING VULNERABILITIES

    Your assessment indicates that {q25_textbox23} has areas where the security and safeguarding areas needs to be reviewed and improved urgently.
