Paragraph 5 Welfare of the children being cared for

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

The later years provider does not give, and ensures that no person who cares for the children gives, corporal punishment to a child for whom the later years provision is being provided.

(2)

The later years provider ensures, so far as is reasonably practicable, that no person living or working on the relevant premises gives corporal punishment to a child for whom the later years provision is being provided.

(3)

In this paragraph “corporal punishment” means anything done for the purpose of punishing a child (whether or not there are other reasons for doing it) which, absent any justification, would constitute battery.
