Good Practice Guide for Parent and Toddler Groups - Engage Today
Some years ago, Care for the Family worked with the Salvation Army and the Mothers Union to put together 'The Good Practice Guide to Parent and Toddler Groups.' It is a fantastic guide to toddler groups, especially valuable to groups just starting up, as well as established group leaders and teams.

This is something that the government expects all organisations open to or likely to be in contact with children to have. It will include having a staff recruitment procedure, good practice guidelines for workers, and a system for reporting any suspected or alleged abuse.
