CYPCore32-1.1 Explain the factors that need to be taken into account when assessing development. When assessing development, we need to take into consideration a few factors such as: * Confidentiality: We’d need consent from the parent to carry out an observation of a child/ young person. But we also need to be careful with the contents of the observations we make; we need to ensure any notes we’re taking, any recording or any register about the child is out of the reach of anyone who is not ourselves, the parent and someone who is involved with the child’s education and needs to have access to this. If we need to show our notes to someone duo to our own education process, someone like a tutor for example, then we need to protect the identity of the child by not using their names. In case there’s any safeguard issue, we should follow the safeguarding procedures which may involve breaching confidentiality but then again only if/ when necessary and only the people who need to have information will do so.

It is essential to remember to sign, date and time any written notes.
