The Child

Task 3 AC 3. 1 ? Attachment involve By knowing the background of a sister, having a safe(p) relationship with his/hers p arnts/c arrs and learning about the electric shavers interests all(a) adds to aid the bonding. Each child is allocated a key worker but all ply should be able and available to engage with a child. Listening to them, builds the trust and confidence they leave score with you and thitherfore atomic number 18 more than likely to come to you with each problems or concerns e. g. child in cheerry has quite a distressing quantify when his parent leaves him so (whenever possible) the same member of staff al g all oernment agencys greets him, helps him sort out his bits and bobs and wherefore(prenominal) shoot downs him to the modelling table (his favourite thing). Over time his has helped him with his disallow reaction to being left. This routine is likewise beneficial if that member of staff is not available as another staff member tidy sum do the same th ings. ? Supervision A child inescapably to learn and explore so we indispensableness to always be mindful of gamble V Challenge. The opportunities moldiness be in that location but in a way that does not endanger the child e. . Children should be given the opportunity to use the P. E equipment but staff must find an eye and mats must be placed on the floor. If supervision is lacking a child could digest accidents. Staff must always remember that theyre role models, also a good home/ school association is again burning(prenominal) as home background whitethorn have an impact on a childs behaviour ect. By being aware of everything that is wrong at home e. g. dominate and can put the welfare of the child in rectifying the problem. ? Safe comer and Departure With both arrival and departure staff, rush to be warm and friendly to both children and parents/carers.The children take on to see a good relationship between home/school to help reinforce their feelings of safety. By getting parents/carers in this way theyre more likely to have a word if at that place is eitherthing going on at home e. g. a parent took met outside to explain a family pet had died and their child may be a bit tearful. This then allowed us to keep an extra eye on them and be set up to talk about it when the child wanted to. At departure time it is important for staff to be well aware on who is able to squirrel away the children e. g. there may be a lawcourt order disallowing a parent from collecting the child.It is also important to keep a register in both am and pm sessions in case of emergencies (headcount) and it is a good way to keep come apart on regular absentees which may give a cause for concern. ? Outings There are many things to come across when taking children on outings. Prior to any outing parent/carers must know and a authority slip is required for every child. A risk assessment must be d nonpareil, the route think and all relevant insurances must be up to date. Extra staff or volunteers lead in all likelihood be required along with a qualified first aider. On the trip itself staff train to know that they have a list of emergency contact numbers.All staff need to know of any allergies or health check conditions. Head counts must be done on a regular ass double checking each time. At our consideration all the children would also be wearing a racy visibility jacket as well. ? Play opportunities In order to help protect and childs safety and well being and to prevent a setting from being over crowded there is a minimum takeice ratio for every child i. e. 3-5 year olds 2. 3 square meters of space per child. Children need to go outside every day (weather permitting) and if the setting does not have an outside subject there must be on the setting can access e. . a field over the road. At my setting there is an outside shared field of view that both F1 and F2 can use. Part of the area is covered so even if it is raining the chil dren can still be in the fresh air. every theme/topic currently in the class is carried on with equipment and play opportunities outside e. g. shapes the sand stigmatize may have different shapes in it for the children to find. ? Nutrition Within my setting there are nosh tables and a insect bite area in both F1 and F2. The children know that to eat there it has to be a level-headed eat e. g. a piece of fruit, carrot stick etc.Fresh fruit and drinks of squash, take out or urine are available for all in case they do not bugger off any from home. The children bring in a pack lunch or have a hot Scholl dinner, so I would assume that the school has looked into the catering company and that they fulfil any requirements to provide a nutritious meal. ? health check needs We would need to know if a child has had all of the relevant vaccinations and date of the last tetanus jab. It is a parents pickaxe whether to get a child vaccinated but we need to know either way. Within the s etting there needs to be a first aider, school nurse or someone with relevant training on hand at all times.Any medical conditions that require treatment or medicine during the day needs to be administered by one of the above. sign consent must be given by the parent and/or doctor if required e. g. one child at our setting bought in some Puritan and we were asked by the parent to administer it more than the dosage stated. To protect the child (which is our duty) the school nurse would not do this until a doctor earn said that this was ok. The authorisation did not come so she didnt do it Although it is not usual to go against the parents wishes in some cases it will be done to protect the child (duty of care). Risk Assessments this is required by law as part of health and safety. The setting equipment and things like outings all need to have the paper work done. At our setting the lead practitioner must sign it off and then give it to the head master, copies must also be kept. ? Hygiene This is a huge view of keeping children safe and levelheaded. With regard to the children themselves all children are taught and reminded of how to wash their hands afterward each tail end visit and before eating. They are also shown and reminded on how to cover their mouths if they cough and to wipe their nosesIf there are any toileting accidents the member of staff dealing with this needs to wear latex gloves and nappies have a distract bin. Dirty underwear gets placed into a special bag ready for the parents later. In the staff toilets there is a separate bin for any sanitary or tampon waste. As for the setting itself, the kitchen and snack areas are wiped down regularly. Play equipment and toys (wherever possible) are washed or wiped down at regular intervals. The childrens toilets are checked several times a day with professional niftyers coming in every evening.Also, at my setting, the water tables are drained and sprayed with a sterilising solution at the end of every day. ? Health surveillance This is why it is important to know the children as it is easier to see when a child is gravely or out of sync. You will notice any weight loss or gain, any bruises from regular accidents or change of moods and then be able to act accordingly. At our setting we also check with the lunch time staff and check lunchboxes to keep an eye on what and how much the children are eating. If there is a sickness bug and 2 or more children go down with it then Ofsted must be informed within 14 days. Food hygiene All people that explicate or serve food to children should have attended a food hygiene course and win a certificate. In our setting we have a clarified kitchen area and all the area is wiped and cleaned regularly. The laws of the electric refrigerator are abided by e. g. it is regularly cleaned and any fresh meat is stored below cooked meats etc. Aprons, tea towels, clean cloths etc are always available. A list of hygiene rules are also displayed i n the kitchen. ? Safeguarding Every setting will have scripted policies and procedures to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of every child.These will accommodate Health and Safety, Confidentiality, Data Protection, Bullying etc. When it comes to staff, all must have a CRB check and there will be a policy on whistle blowing for any member of staff come to about the actions of another. Any changes to staff etc must be reported to Ofsted. ? Cultural needs This goes back to the Equality, cellular inclusion and Diversity law. Every child as part of their happiness and wellbeing needs to feel important and worthwhile. Children should be made aware of different types of assimilations and celebrations.Staff need to know the different cultures and parents need to be informed of any topics or celebrations that will be covered at the setting e. g. a Jehovah boys parent didnt want him attending the Christmas party so they were informed so she could collect him before it started. ? Physic al care routine All of the topics covered on this task aid the somatic well being of a child so I shall just cover Intimate animal(prenominal) care e. g. nappy changes the staff allowed to do this at my setting have to be a regular member of staff, with a CRB. Also the only children who would equire this at my setting would have a Statement and written permission from their parent/carer would have been attained. Any allegation of inappropriate behaviour would be reported interest a chain of command, documented and given to Ofsted within 14 days. ? Physical activity physical phylogeny and activity is so important to a child that it is a prime area in the EYFS. It helps children surface co-ordination, motor skills, balance, control and movement. At my placement they do a wake and shake activity, which involves music and dance, after both am and pm registration along with P.E. sessions and outdoor play. ? Sleep and rest By the time the children attend my setting they no longer h ave naps in the day however there are areas they can go, e. g. book corner, if they want some quiet time or are feeling a little unwell. Childrens health and well being is also enforced by the EYFS, ECM, Childcare Acts and UN Rights of the Child. (Esp. Articles 3, 12, 13, 14, 24, 28, 29, 30 & 31). Task 4 AC 3. 2 1) Doctor The family doctor is there for a wide be given of health issues from a short -term viral infection to a long-term health issues.They will treat, apprize and make referrals if necessary. Usually they will know the family history and background of a child so can be able to notice if things are a cause for concern. 2) School nurse The school nurse works in partnership with the school and can be called upon for any concerns about a child. He/she also treats, cares and monitors any children with an ongoing medical condition. He/she can administer medicines and may also keep an eye on any children who have other agencies involved in their care e. g. social worker. ) d ental practitioner In most cases children are taken to the family dentist who will check, treat and care for their childs oral health care. He/she will also offer advice on a childs diet and dental care. Usually once a year a school dentist will visit and check at school with parents being advised of any concerns. 4) Dieticians Dieticians provide advice to families with regard to healthy eating and choices along with life-style choices. Often Doctors will refer families to a dietician if they have concerns over a childs weight.

Please note we would need to check the ingredients of the cottage pie and check whether nuts are used in the vicinity of this meals preparatio n. 1. No. 2. Georgia, Isabel, Abra, John. 3. We big businessman endanger the children allergies or offend/go against cultural practices. 4. Joshua = would get a rash that could be inflamed, antsy or develop hives. Georgia = could get an uncomfortable stomach and/or diarrhoea. Noah = could have a small reaction e. g. minor swelling to his lips or face or a severe reaction e. g. an asthma attack like reaction with swelling of the throat (anaphylaxis). Isabel = could develop symptoms of wheezing, diarrhoea or vomiting.Abra = we would be going against his (& his parents) culture and not giving him the respect, knowledge and understanding of his ethnic group. John = if he is a vegetarian by choice we would be going against his wishes and life-choices to which he has a right. 5. Parents (I would presume) know their children best. If the advice is ignored you could cause their children to have an allergic reaction, whether kooky or severe, cause harm or discomfort, or endanger their l ives. Task 8 AC 5. 4 This would have to be done quite culture mediumly and tactfully when it comes to the parents as some may take offense if we make them feel that they dont know best. With regard to my setting we do not cater for the children ourselves as they go into school to eat a hot dinner.These are provided by a catering company who produce a 4 week menu which is available to parents. We do provide healthy snacks for the children to have whenever they wish. The children know that crisps, biscuits etc that may be in their lunch boxes are not suitable to eat at the snack table. What could be done is a topic/theme of foods to mix the criteria from the EYFS Understanding the World, obviously the other areas of the EYFS can be covered within it because of the interdependency. Also the children sometimes have a small homework challenge to complete over a term or ? term. It could be to make a list of foods at home on a traffic light i. e. ed unhealthy through to green healthy. This would then give the children the chance to talk to parents/carers about the foods they have and may help to promote parents/carers into changing their diet slightly if they see too many reds. Perhaps the children could make a food plate on which they could draw, stick pictures etc of their favourite foods. They could then make a large plate for mummy or daddy thus helping to reinforce the fact that children do not need to eat the same size portions as adults. Weight is very often a sensitive subject and misconceptions of a slightly overweight child being described as looking healthy dont help the issue.Any weight gains or losses that are quite extreme would have to be talked about with their parent or carer. Hopefully this would result with visiting the doctor (who may then refer to a dietician or give life-style advice) to check that there isnt any underlying medical condition. At the present time I only know of children who have intolerances or allergies to certain foods I have not had the experience of talking to a parent about their childs eating habits ,because, I presume, the fact that we do not do the catering. But I would rely that because of the good home/school link at our setting any food concerns noticed at home would be shared with us and then we could give advice and get together some development to help them.
