1.2 2.3 Children should be raised in positive circumstances by providing safe and caring environments. Parents or carers who fail to protect or care for their children could be to court and the child be then removed and placed in care. Wider forms of safeguarding also include risk assessments such as providing a safe environment inside and outside a school setting. Adhering to school policies, procedures and legistrations i.e. health and safety, fire drills and missing children.
• Parents and carers How well parents and carers are able to support their child or young person’s development and respond appropriately to their needs. • Family and environment The impact of wider family and environmental elements on the child or young person’s development and on the capacity of their parents/carers. How we used the common assessment at the school The common assessment process represents best practice– although it is acknowledged that, in some instances, flexibility may be required to meet the specific needs of a child or young person and their circumstances. Is a process that may move forwards and backwards between delivery and review until needs are met. We should not put the child or young person, or ourselves, at risk of harm.
Timing is very important, we need to give a reward (praise, stickers, extra attention) straight after they have done something good, otherwise it will be forgotten by the child very quickly. We need to make sure children understand why they are praised. It is not necessary to give a reward every time, as it is more likely that they show good
The strengths of early intervention are enhanced development, minimized developmental delays, and can decrease the need for special education in the future. Early intervention builds the child and family up so they can see that the disability will not hold the child down. It gives the family a head start on educational services so that the child will not fall behind when the reach grade
We can’t protect children from all the things that may cause them distress throughout their lives. But we can help children become more resilient so that they are more able to cope with life’s uncertainties and problems.

1.4 Explain common barriers to integrated working and multi-agency working and how these can be over come. Multi-agency working brings together practitioners from different sectors and professions to provide an integrated way of working to support children, young people and families. It is a way of working that ensures children and young people who need additional support have exactly the right professionals needed to support them. Integrated working focuses on enabling and encouraging professionals to work together effectively to deliver effective care for children. Children in their early years may have a range of needs and the way that we work together as practitioners can have a positive impact on their health, development and learning.
Anti-bullying policies are in place in school to ensure the children know that bullying is not acceptable behaviour but a child should feel confident enough to report an incident if one occurs and should know who they can go to within the school to discuss any such situations. * Make a positive contribution-A child should feel like they make a positive contribution to the school by being noticed and rewarded for their achievements. 100 square points, head teacher stickers, merit awards are all ways of boosting s childs confidence and can encourage positive behaviour. * Develop social and emotional skills-Through Personal, Social and Health Education (PHSE) lessons, a school can ensure that all children develop these personal abilities and skills that will motivate them to strive for higher personal achievement, socially and academically throughout their lives, PHSE also helps a child to understand how they are developing personally and socially and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. Basic everyday good manners should be recognised and a subtle prompt given if missed to ensure the correct level of respect is both given and received.
Panels are usually made up of different agencies and these panels determine the access that is available between settings. These panels aim to support the early identification of children’s needs, monitor children’s progress, ensure a child’s needs are identified and assessed quickly and referred to the appropriate setting. They also coordinate provision through the development of partnership with parents, settings and different agencies and support inclusion in mainstream early years settings. It’s important to identify the need for additional support as early as possible. Without it the children will not get the help they need at the right time and this could have an affect on the child’s well being.
MU 2.9 understand partnership working in services for children and young people Explain why working in partnership with others is important for children and young people. It is important to work in partnership with others because all agencies can share information and concerns to create a holistic view about children and young people in their care when any need arises, to help to keep the children safe from harm and promote their welfare, to diagnose a special need quickly in children and get the help that is needed to the child/family as soon as possible without confusing the child or their families.
