No Smoking or Vaping 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 or vaping 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)
