8.7 No-smoking

Policy statement

We comply with health and safety regulations and the Safeguarding and Welfare Requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage in making our setting a no-smoking environment - both indoors and outdoors.

Procedures

• All staff, parents and volunteers are made aware of our no-smoking policy.


• We display no smoking signs.


• The No-smoking Policy is stated in our information for parents.


• We actively encourage no-smoking by having information for parents and staff about where to get help to stop smoking if they are seeking this information.


• Staff who smoke do not do so during working hours, unless on a break and off the premises.


• Staff who smoke during their break make every effort to reduce the effect of the odour and lingering effects of passive smoking for children and colleagues.
