Policy + Procedure help please

Im currently trying to start up my own childminding business and as you know there are policys + Procedures to write. I was just wondering if any one could help me. I just dont know where to begin. I have done the child protection policy and complaints procedure but when it comes to writing the others that are reqiered for the care commission i have not got a clue how to write them. I still need to do:- Emergency Procedure, Record of accidents, Record of incidents, Childrens records, Administering Medication records and fire safety risk assesment althoug im not sure if i have done this or not as i filled in the form that gets handed into the fire station.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi, the best place I've found for policies & procedures that can be adapted to your own needs is BCMA - Bromley Childminding association there's also a huge amount of other information on there

Oh sorry .. Ofsted are Englands inspectorate body - Care Commission Scotland's and CSIW - Care Standards Inspectorate for Wales !

I found the Fire Risk assessment guide you mentioned - Guide.pdf .. link from this page of the Care Commissions website once its handed into to the Fire department do you know if they issue a certificate ?

Im not sure if they give you a certificate or not. will try and find out though.

Thanx for your help
