Early Education and Child Care Centre Trust Mark
School Safety Assurance International (SSAI) offers a voluntary assessment, ratings, and certification program—a cutting-edge AI-enabled SaaS platform—focused on enhancing health, safety, security, and quality standards within preschools and childcare centres. Anchored in ACCAB's In-Loco Parentis Standard, recognized by the Indian Copyright Office, participating institutions are encouraged to adopt specific health, safety, and security measures outlined in the standard. These measures are tailored to create a secure environment suitable for toddlers and young children. The program aims to establish robust safety and quality protocols, fostering a culture centred on safety and quality within preschools and childcare centres, ensuring comprehensive protection for all stakeholders involved.
The Early Education and Child Care Centre Trust Mark is a straightforward, yet impactful independent scheme aimed at promoting systematic Early Education and Child Care Centre Safety and Quality Self Evaluation (SSE) aligned with a comprehensive quality and safety management system. This approach includes External Assessor Review (EAR), facilitating continuous improvement and enhancing accountability in school safety and security practices.
Designed to guide Early Education and Child Care Centres in systematically reviewing their safety priorities and the effectiveness of implemented quality and safety measures, the Early Education and Child Care Centre Trust Mark covers Eighteen Aspects.
