EY: Early Years Safeguarding Reforms 2025: Using the ‘H&F Self-Evaluation Tool’

Quick Navigation

Jul 23 2025

    From 1 September 2025, the updated (EYFS) Safeguarding Reforms will become statutory for all registered Early Years providers.

    To support this transition, providers are expected to use the ‘Safeguarding Self-Evaluation Tool 2025'. This tool helps embed the 2025 safeguarding reforms into daily practice, supports leadership and management self-evaluation, and aligns with the new Ofsted inspection framework.

    We invite all providers to review this self-evaluation tool ahead of September to ensure readiness and compliance.
