Health and Safety Policy – 2023

Annual Risk Assessment is in place and available upon request – 2023

Children

  • During the sessions children are able to choose to use creative materials.  Protective old shirts/t shirts/aprons are available. However, children do not always choose to wear protective clothing and accidents can happen.   Lesley will support the child in protecting themselves and clothes during the session. 
  • If an accident does occur and clothes are soiled from the creative materials or bodily fluids and the child becomes distressed Lesley will stop the session.
  • Children can choose to remove socks, shoes, jumpers and jackets during the session. 

Photographs

  • Lesley Wardrop does not take photographs of individual children.  She does at times take photographs of sand trays and/or art work for reflection and consideration of the therapeutic process.

COVID 19 – January 2023

I will follow any current government guidance.

My aim is to provide and effectively reduce risks and create an inherently safer environment.

Control measures:

  1. Ensure good hygiene for everyone
  2. Maintain appropriate cleaning regimes
  3. Keep occupied spaces well ventilated
  4. Follow public health advice on testing, self-isolation and manging confirmed cases of COVID-19

All procedures will be regularly reviewed, included in my current risk assessment and reflect Government guidelines and/or individual school policy.
