USE OF CAMERA TELEPHONES IN NURSERIES

Early day motion 1233, tabled 6 April 2010 by Julia Goldsworthy (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 4 members.

That this House notes with concern that there are no statutory requirements regarding the use of mobile telephones with cameras in nurseries; further notes that nurseries are implementing their own internal policies on welfare requirements; believes that mobile telephones should not be used by staff in any early years setting; and calls on the Department for Children, Schools and Families to circulate guidance to nurseries with a view to incorporating into the statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage measures to ensure that nurseries have the necessary backing in law to help them protect children from the improper use of camera telephones.
