Daily Guardian Scheme
This scheme has been operating in this Area for six years and has
provided a very useful service for parents who are in need of assistance
in finding a daily minder for one or two children under five years
of age.
Certain safeguards for the protection of the children are imposed
on Guardians undertaking this work. Health visitors are responsible
for the approval of Guardians for registration and for visiting children
in their care.
In order that both parents and Daily Guardians shall be aware of
their responsibilities under the scheme, written information is given to
each so that they are mutually aware of their obligations. At the end
