ECDA requires preschools to install CCTV cameras in all areas used by children (except toilets and changing areas). Preschools should work with their CCTV vendors to position cameras for maximum coverage of each area on a best effort basis.

The CCTV footage is not the only evidence used in investigations. Beyond CCTV footage, ECDA obtains other evidence in our investigations as cameras cannot capture everything that occurs in preschools. Evidence we gather from our investigations include statements from individuals (e.g. preschool staff), physical inspection of incident sites, and relevant documentation.

This multi-faceted approach ensures thorough investigations, so that safety concerns are properly addressed even in areas without camera coverage.
