Hi, a warm welcome to the site and best wishes with your course xx

If you have access to the level 2 Diploma for the Early Years Practitioner handbook pages 68+ will help.

You need to identify that this is the current legislation and guidance for safeguarding, promoting welfare, security and confidentiality:

• Promoting the welfare of children
• United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)
• EYFS (if you work in England)
  
  Safeguarding children
• Children Act 1989/2004
• Working together to safeguard children 2018
  
  Maintaining security of settings
• Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 / prevent Duty and Fundamental British Values 2015
  
  Maintaining confidentiality of information
• Genral Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018

Also check with your tutor if you'll be looking at these additional publications
