Ealing Assurance Mark Application Checklist

Welcome to the Ealing Assurance Mark registration process

Out of School Settings can now register to voluntarily put in place policies and safeguarding measures that will better ensure children’s safety and wellbeing. These cover practical issues like premises and equipment, as well as safer recruitment of staff and volunteers.

Settings which register for the scheme are assessed on whether they meet the safeguarding guidance and those that do are awarded an Ealing Assurance Mark. This can be used on your website, social media, advertising, stationery etc. This recognises your commitment and achievement as well as promotes your setting well to parents.

Ealing will then promote the mark heavily across council websites and social media. Parents will come to understand that wherever they see this mark, that the setting in question has made a serious commitment to the safety and wellbeing of children.

How to apply

1. Please read and share with your staff and volunteers the Safeguarding Guidance for Out of School Settings in Ealing. This contains templates and guidance on policies for safeguarding children in your care.

2. If in addition to using our guidance and templates, you have developed your own guidance and / or policies, you can share them within the application process. Please have these files ready to upload.
