Guidance#

How to show you are complying#

You need a system in place that stores relevant information held by the hospital about children participating in the service. This information will be on the child’s clinical notes and must be accessible to adults in the service. 

The hospital records, including the ward list, will give the dates and times that children are admitted and discharged. This must be signed by the child’s parent/guardian.

You need to keep records for every child who participates in the service. These records should align with the requirements set out in Chapter 3-B-3 of the ECE Funding Handbook.
