Where to start Read the guidance. A key starting point for providers emanating from KCIE (2021) is the requirement for all staff in a provider setting who work with children to read at least part one of the guidance, and those who don t work with children, to at least read Annex A (governors and proprietors have the discretion on the advice for those not working with children).
