Health and Safety Policy

ENSURING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT

At International Nanny Agency, the physical and emotional safety of children — as well as the professional well-being of our candidates — are paramount. We view health and safety not merely as a compliance requirement, but as a core pillar of our commitment to excellence and trust.

OUR DUTY OF CARE

We are committed to promoting a safe, healthy, and hazard-free environment for every professional placed in our client homes. Our policy upholds the highest standards of child safety, while ensuring our Nannies, Governesses, and Maternity Nurses work in secure and legally compliant settings.

KEY SAFEGUARDING PROTOCOLS

Risk Awareness: We guide both families and candidates on best practice safety standards in the home and during daily activities.
Vetting and Due Diligence: Our robust screening process — including police clearances or criminal background checks (such as a DBS in the UK, or the local equivalent) and comprehensive reference verification — ensures only professionals with proven integrity and aptitude are considered.
Well-being Focus: We advise on appropriate working conditions, including suitable accommodation for live-in roles, reasonable working hours, and clearly defined duties to prevent burnout and ensure safe, consistent care.
Reporting and Support: We encourage both families and professionals to communicate openly with us regarding any health or safety concerns that may arise during a placement, affirming our continuous support.

By applying these standards rigorously, we reinforce the trust that defines our agency and ensure a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive under the care of exceptional professionals.
