Devon and Cornwall Police: advice and guidance to education settings (including childcare) in relation to emergencies

As an educational and childcare setting you should have plan for dealing with emergencies. Devon and Cornwall Police have developed guidance to enable you to review your security and emergency plans to ensure that the arrangements you currently have in place are still up to date and where appropriate have been tested to ensure staff and children are prepared.

The document has useful links on how to manage a security incident and what to expect from the Police response. You may think that this may seem more appropriate for those working with older children and young people, however this is still relevant to early years and childcare providers as risks can relate to wider family and community.
