Safeguarding

Mobile Phones, Cameras and Smart Devices in the Setting

Personal phones, smart watches, tablets and cameras are now one of the most inspected safeguarding risks in early years. The EYFS expects a clear device policy that every adult follows. This course turns policy into consistent daily practice.

What you’ll learn

  • Why device use is a safeguarding issue, not just an IT rule
  • What the EYFS expects your mobile phone and device policy to cover
  • Personal phones and wearables at work: storage, breaks and exceptions
  • Photography, recording and consent — doing observation apps safely
  • Setting-owned devices, secure storage and data protection
  • Visitors, parents and applying the policy confidently day to day

On completion learners receive an NFAQ-accredited certificate as evidence for compliance and Ofsted.
