| Wet floor | People getting hurt, bones getting broken. | Children can easily fall over even if they aren’t running over the wet floor. To prevent this there should be warning signs before the wet floor. For example “caution wet floor alert” The care workers are also at risk because they can still fall over with them knowing that the floor is wet. | Doors | There is a lot of risk with doors, fingers being squashed leading to broken fingers, feet, legs being caught in them.
Sharp kitchen utensils left out: Sharp utensils which are left out can result in staff or children at the nursery cutting themselves, or when in the hands of children can result in them injuring other staff or children around them. 5.

This hazard is not only hazardous to young service users, but also, elder service users as well. The way in which it could be hazardous to young service users is that they may pick this piece of glass up due to evidently not being aware of the dangers it could cause. As a result of this, it is highly likely that they will cut themselves. Some young children may even place it into their mouth which is evidently highly hazardous as it could lead onto more serious injury. The way in which it could be a hazard to elder service users from Peace Haven House is that they may be partially visually impaired which would evidently result in them not being able to notice it.

In a nursery it is necessary for children to have toys to play with in order to keep them occupied but when it comes to tidying and placing these toys back they may refuse to listen. Staff may be occupied in order trying to tidy the nursery and may come across a toy lying on the floor causing them to trip, slip and fall. This is harmful towards the staff of members at the nursery and other children. Food however, when children are given something to eat they are most likely to be messy eaters; crumbs may fall onto the floor. This may tempt other children to pick it up and place it into their
TDA 3.6 2.1 Children and young people can experience prejudice and discrimination on many different levels. This can range from how they look, the clothes they were, how they speak, their religion and beliefs, their gender, their age, for having a disability. This can start of very simply as being picked on from having a different type of uniform (skirt, coat, shoes) etc, and can lead to a child being excluded from joining in games and play because of this. This can continue on a daily basis with children thinking they are playing and aren’t doing anything wrong. Sometimes this is learned behaviour from home and is hard for young children to understand that you are telling them it is not okay to call names because of someone’s skin colour or how they look .
P3 Child maltreatment can occur intentionally or unintentionally. Parents may intentionally maltreat their children for example causing them physical harm, emotional harm, sexual harm or psychological harm on purpose. It can also occur unintentionally this is when a parent fails to take interest or notice different signs in their children which could indicate harm from another party for example bullying. Different parenting skills can affect a child being maltreated. There are different indicators for child maltreatment for example indicators you would look out for in physical maltreatment would be bruising, unexplained injuries and soreness also infections, underweight and poor personal hygiene.
If food is contaminated in a setting and the staff members are aware, they are committing a criminal offence by harming innocent children. On the other hand do they do this deliberately or is it a mistake. Never less it is young children involved and if their aware they should write it or tell someone to safeguard themselves. My opinion is if you remove this legislation; it leaves spaces for making mistakes and therefore not being followed up by staff members. This can cause harm to the children so I strongly agree with this law.
