Childrens behaviour must be managed effectively and in a manner appropriate for their stage of development and particular undivided needs. Suitable people Providers must ensure that adults looking after children, or having unsupervised access to them, are suitable to do so. Adults looking after children must suffer appropriate qualifications, training, skills and knowledge.Staffing arrangements must be organised to ensure safety and to meet the needs of the children. Suitable premises, env ironment and equipment Outdoor and indoor spaces, furniture, equipment and toys must be safe and suitable for their purpose. Organisation Providers must plan and organise their systems to ensure that every child receives an enjoyable and challenging learning and development experience that is bespoken to meet their individual needs. Documentation Providers must maintain records, policies and maps required for the safe and efficient management of the settings and to meet the needs of the children 1. I fuddle policies in place which cover Safeguarding policies and procedure for reporting Suitable person all adults have a current CRB Suitable premises comprehensive risk assessments are make and recorded daily Car travel, lost child, notify able diseases, large play equipment and garden policy, behaviour and physical intervention. Accident and incident policy and record book, medical record, permission policy and emergency plan /childcare. Plus m each more to meet each childs age a nd abilities to safeguard myself and the child, parent/carers. Task 3 3. 1 It is important to take a balanced approach to risk management to reduce the risk of injury or harm to the individual child The activity should be set up to meet each child s individual needs and be within their individual capabilities The activity should be aimed to enhance learning and but still must be within a safe environment A comprehensive risk assessment should include the individual child s needs and abilities, challenging to the child s development but without excessive risk that may harm themselves of personal Children and young people do not always have the skills to make judgement on safe choices and as carers it is our responsibility to identify some(prenominal) hazards and make the judgement on when it is safe for the child to undertake an activity or make a personal choice. Children and young people need the independence to explore an activity in a well controlled setting. For example a bab y may continue to pull themselves up against a table or cupboard if the table has corner edges cushioned and the area around the table is clutter free this reduces the risk of harm if the baby falls the baby provide continue to keep evaluateing without seeing the danger which is clear for adults the baby must e wedded the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas and do this without the risk of harm which can be eliminated if caution and care is taken. 3. 2 The dilemma between the rights of choices for young people and health and safety requirements Children learn by try new and exciting experiences they may not have the skills t make judgement but children are good at judging and deciding when they tone safe to try or join in with activity. Children need the exemption of choice but with reassurance and firm boundaries of safety they become more confident. Children need the freedom to explore and grow safely Parents and cares need to take caution and reassure not control the s ituation so the child feels able to make a choice to explore a new activity. 3. 3 I have a trampoline policy and agreement between myself and the children in my care each child signs and agrees with the boundaries we set. The rules are made on a health and safety basis. Amount of children at one time. Rules concerning shoes and safe appropriate clothing no light strings or baggy clothing. The safety of the zip and catch locks surrounding the trampoline and the use of the ladder. If the rules are broken ten the trampoline is out of use until the child re-reads and resigns the policy in place. I also have a behaviour policy which the child and i write together including safety of equipment and around the house.
