A private day nursery is regularly inspected to make sure that the health and safety of all the children is maintained. Private day nurseries support both families and children by giving children age birth-5years a set daily routine and small activities to achieve goals based on each child’s individual development progress. Families are supported by having relationships with their child’s key worker and receiving any revel vent information of their child or setting through letter or even verbal contact. Finally another setting which provides care for families and children are ‘voluntary settings’ these are organization’s which are usually provided by charities. Within the ‘voluntary settings’ there are volunteers and paid staff who provide similar services to the ‘statutory sector’.
They would do this by holding fun nights, sporting events and quizzes. For example Christian Brothers Primary School. Voluntary services are organisations such as charities or individuals who see a need to help children and their families for example the NSPCC. Staff that volunteer don’t need to be qualified however they do need to be accessed Northern Ireland checked. According to www.dcalni.gov.uk it states ‘following the murders of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells by Ian Huntley (a school caretaker) in 2002 the bichard inquiry was commissioned to examine the reasons why this had happened and the reasons to be learned.’ This means that applicants’ backgrounds will be checked to see if they
Barnardos, which is a children’s charity, is a good example of a service provided. E2 The statutory sector supports children by providing education. This broadens children’s minds and gives them knowledge/teachings for the future. Education gives children support that they might not get at home, children sometimes don't have a nice home life. This is also a way to keep them out of trouble.
The Voluntary services are founded mainly by donations and they are non-profit making. Voluntary services in Luton could be: toddlers groups, day care centres, support group, brownies and cadets. Private services are the ones which are provided by individuals and are profit making they do not need to be provided by law i.e. child minders, nannies, after school clubs, homework clubs, music classes and dance classes (see also leaflet attached as appendix). E3 THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD(UNCRC) 1989 is the only piece of legislation that is recognised by all the United Nations and gives children and young people under the age of 18 years their own special rights.
The voluntary sector is provided by organizations such as charities. Things such as Guides, Brownies, Scouts and Youth clubs are voluntary services as they don’t receive money from the government and they don’t have to be provided. A voluntary service which is in my area is Girl Guiding. Girl guiding is the largest voluntary organization for young woman and girls with over half a million members, including 100,000 trained volunteer adult leaders and supporters. This voluntary service supports children and their families as it is free for the children to enjoy themselves while learning at the same time.
Nurturing stage: Birth to 18-24 Months or Autonomy- The major task at this stage is forming bonds of attachment with the baby. Parents attempt to meet the needs of the baby and balance this with other responsibilities involving spouse, jobs, and friends. Authoritative stage: Two to four or five years- Parents nurture, guide, and discipline their child. Parents evaluate their effectiveness in establishing limits, communicating and enforcing rules, and allowing enough freedom for each child to grow and develop. Interpretive Stage: Preschool Years through Adolescence- Parents teach their child about life and help him or her interpret the actions of others such as their teachers and peers.
Local streets, estates, green spaces, parks and town centres should be accessible for children and young people to move around in safety and offer places where they can play freely, experience nature, explore their environment and be with their friends. Children value and benefit from staffed play provision Children should have access to a choice of staffed facilities where children’s play rights and needs are the first priority, such as adventure playgrounds, play centres, holiday play schemes, afterschool play clubs, breakfast play clubs, toy libraries, play buses and play ranger services. Children’s play is enriched by skilled playworkers Qualified, skilled playworkers are trained to put children’s play needs at the centre of their work in a variety of settings, enhancing the range and quality of play experiences for all children. They are the best people to run staffed play provision for school-aged children. The role of the playworker is as important as that of any skilled professional working with children and should be respected and rewarded
Health and Social Care settings: Health and Social care settings are environments where care is delivered to people such as the elderly, the youth and those with disabilities. Examples of such settings include: Residential Care A residential care provides a safe environment for children in a local area. Residential homes are often used by children who can’t live with their parents. This may be due to their parents not being able to financially look after a child or, if the child is thought to be at risk of harm when living with their parents. Residential care homes may are not always a permanent fixture for young people but rather staff will either try and reunite service users with their families if and when it is acceptable or to look at foster/adoption opportunities on behalf of the individual.
Unit 1; An introduction to working with children Section 1: E1; Describe three different types of settings which provide care and education for children in your area. A statutory service in my area is my local primary school; the government funds this type of service, by law they have to provide for children and their families. They follow the national curriculum which entails key stage 1 for years 1 – 2 and key stage 2 for years 3 – 6, the primary school caters for children from the ages of 4 – 11. ‘The role of the government is either directly to provide statutory services or to supervise them through government departments’ (Tassoni.P.2007; 331) A voluntary service in my area is my local youth club, this type of service is voluntary and funded by charities it means people don’t pay for the service but drop along. A private service in my local area is a private nursery, this means that government does not pay for anything towards it and funds are raised through the people attending.
These support the children and families as children have the right to an education. These services also enable the children to extend their development. Statutory services support families because if they are struggling with money it allows their children to have a free education with them being able to work and go out. The ‘Bernardo’s’ voluntary service is mainly based on money donations that provide care and support towards the children. Usually all money goes towards the charity as they are mainly non-profit making charities.
