How do you ensure children are cared for by safe and trusted adults?

At BestStart, all staff undergo the required safety checks before working with children. Centres follow established security procedures, including managing visitor access and maintaining clear records of who is on site. These processes help ensure children are cared for by trusted adults and remain safe while attending our centres.

Children's safety depends on having appropriately screened adults, clear security procedures and effective supervision. Early childhood services have a responsibility to ensure that the people caring for children are suitable, trustworthy and able to provide a safe environment.

Robust safety and security processes help protect children throughout the day and ensure that only authorised adults have access to them. These measures also provide reassurance for families that their child is being cared for in a secure setting.
