Safer Feeding Assessment

This risk assessment has been developed in line with EYFS and Ofsted requirements and has been designed to strengthen and support safer feeding practices across our settings.

Although this document is comprehensive, it is important that all staff familiarise themselves with its contents, as it supports our shared commitment to safeguarding and regulatory compliance.

We are committed to ensuring that all staff feel confident and knowledgeable in carrying out their safeguarding duties. Your awareness and understanding of this risk assessment will help us maintain the highest standards of care and safety for children.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to safeguarding.
