The safeguarding and welfare requirements are designed to ensure the childcare providers promote the welfare of children and keep them safe and well. The EYFS is a very detailed document and when it comes to safeguarding and welfare there is a lot to take in. 

It’s imperative to have fully implemented safeguarding policies at childcare settings and to have a designated safeguarding lead that leases with the relevant local authorities.  

All staff must be given child safeguarding training including training on the setting’s policies and procedures, and also induction training that covers all the areas such as equality and diversity and health & safety. There is also a requirement for ongoing professional development opportunities. 

The EYFS  requires certain supervision structures and also specific staff ratios for all childcare setting - based largely on the ages of the children been looked after. It also state that children must  always be within at least either sight or hearing of staff. 
 
Promotion of good health for the children in childcare settings is vital. There must be procures in place for when children get ill, suitable first aid facilities, written records, and healthy snacks meal and drinks.
The areas used for food preparation must be adequately equipped and food hygiene training for anyone preparing or handling food is essential.

Smacking- or any other kind of punishment that may have an adverse effect on a child’s well-being - must be strictly forbidden.

The EYFS defines what records must be kept on both children and staff, and how and where to store them confidentially, and when to share them ( with parents, other professionals, the police, social services and Ofsted), as appropriate.
There are rules around what information must be available to parent/carers, including information on how the Eyfs is being delivered, the activities and experience that are provided, policies and procedures, emergency contact details, and information about the child’s key person. 

Everyone working in an early years setting needs to be aware of the safeguarding and welfare require of the eyfs. We’ve listed some of them above, but to ensure a full understanding of all the safeguarding and welfare requirements for the eyfs- as well as a broad awareness of the rest of the EYFS statutory guidance- you can train your staff in flicks new the EYFS made simple course, and much more ; all as part of the flick subscription.
