Paragraph 14 Suitability of premises and equipment

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

(1)

In the case of a registered person who is not a home child-carer, an assessment is undertaken to identify any risks to the health or safety of children for whom childcare is provided, arising from the relevant premises (including the means of access to and exit from those premises), the equipment used for the purposes of the childcare, and the activities provided—

(a)

at least once in each calendar year, and

(b)

immediately, where the need for such an assessment arises,

and all necessary measures are taken to minimise any identified risks.

(2)

In the case of a registered person who is a home child-carer, the registered person advises the parents of a child for whom the childcare is being provided of any risks to the health or safety of such a child arising from the relevant premises, the equipment used for the purposes of the childcare and the activities provided by the registered person.
