Action Planned (AI summary) The Department for Education intends to issue additional guidance to the early years sector in 2015 under the EYFS banner, principally about what constitutes good paediatric first aid provision in settings. This guidance will point out the dangers of using raw jelly in play with young children without sufficient supervision as an example of a choking hazard, and they will review first aid requirements. Ofsted will disseminate the inquest findings to Ofsted and contracted inspectors of EY provisions, ensuring they are aware of the risks of using raw jelly in activities during inspections of EYFS compliance. They are also liaising with the Local Government Association to discuss the report and ensure appropriate warnings are communicated to settings. The Food Standards Agency will forward information about the risks of raw jelly cubes to local authority environmental health services and industry manufacturing/retail trade bodies. They will also forward the coroner's report to the Department of Health for consideration in relation to early years food advice to parents.
