# The Childcare (Voluntary Registration) Regulations 2007, Paragraph 6: Welfare of the children being cared for


(1) The registered person or any person employed by him does not use corporal punishment on a child receiving childcare.
(2) In the case of a registered person who is not a home child-carer, the registered person ensures, so far as is reasonably practicable, that no person living or working on the premises where the childcare is provided uses corporal punishment on a child receiving childcare.
(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.
