No Smoking Policy
 

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. 

 

Legal framework 

• The Smoke-free (Premises and Enforcement) Regulations (2006) 

The Smoke-free (Signs) Regulations (2012)
