Care Inspectorate have introduced Simoa, the elephant, to all ELC settings. Let’s raise awareness and act responsibly to safeguard, protect and support children’s wellbeing.
Simoa always remembers:
Safe
Be alert to all potential risks in your setting.
Inspect
Look around and inspect the environment to make sure a child can’t leave an area without staff or their parent/carer.
Monitor
Regularly check that all children are accounted for particularly when they are outside, on outings or using transport.
Observe
Observe children and think about their feelings and emotional security – use these observations to support children to feel loved and secure.
Act
Assess and take action to keep children safe.
