Explain the term ‘confidentiality’ 1. Confidentiality means being told something in confidence, not sharing information about people/children without their knowledge and agreement, and ensuring that written and electronic information cannot be accessed or read by people who have no reason to see it. Confidentiality is important because: • Children may not trust a teacher/support worker who does not keep information confidential, this could cause the child to feel upset if they knew the teacher/support worker told others about the child problem, it could also make the child not trust in the teacher/support worker and the child could keep other things to their self that need to be sorted out. • Children may not feel valued or able
They must protect the identity of the child they work with and that of their families and carers. They must do everything in their power to protect the privacy of every child and adult. This can be done by keeping their personal information safe and secure. They can pass it on those who have authorised and legitimate reason to have the information only after they have permission signing a consent form. If parents refuse permission then the school would not be able to pass on the information even if it involves a behavioural specialist working with a child who has special needs.
Physical punishment such as hitting, spanking, beating, pinching, slapping etc are not allowed. Abusive language, withdrawal of food, rest or bathroom opportunities and any form of abuse are strictly prohibited. Effective discipline helps children learn to control their behaviour so that they act according to their ideas of what is right and wrong not because they fear punishment. Working in partnership with parents is very important to
Explain the factors that need to be taken into account when assessing Development. Assessing children and young people has to be done sensitively and accurately. There are a number of factors that have to be considered. CONFIDENTIALITY: Before you can carry out an observation on a child, you must get gain permission from parents or those responsible for the child. Most parents are happy for there children to be observed, although they would not want any other parents or people who have no involvement with the child to read any reports.
Don’t You Think It’s Worth It? Sure the thought of someone searching your things may be a little disturbing, but your child’s safety is definitely worth it. Your children go to school to learn, to a place where you are not going to be to protect them, to the same place where other, more troubled kids go to. Sometimes these troubled kids are angry, want attention, or are just bored, so they bring in drugs or weapons. I am sure that you do not want your children exposed to this, and there is a way to stop it.
If the child mis-uses the freedom, yes you should control them using the appropriate from of disciple. A parent shouldn’t have to disciple their child after the age of 15-18, it shouldn’t be necessary. If your child isn’t responsible by then, than you’ve done something wrong with your guidance. I agree with bell hooks that children shouldn’t be physically abused, but in some cases you need to spank your child.
SHC 2.2 Understand what is required for competence in own work role. 1.1 Duties and responsibilities of being a practioner of my setting would be to respect the principles of confidentiality; all information should be treated as confidential unless the safety and wellbeing of the child is in a dangerous environment for them. Another responsibility is to avoid gossip as you should not be speaking about the child or the setting you care for as you are unable to see who is hearing your conversations or who this information could be returned to. I am aware of being careful of stereotyping children and parents. Don’t judge a child on what their parents wear.
For example if you tell a child not to do something they are likely to wonder why they cant do it, and do it anyway as they are curious of the reasons why they are not allowed to do it. Allowing children to take risks also enables staff the opportunity to assess them efficiently which may enable them to provide the support the child needs. The UNCRC states that every child has the right to make choices, this means children should be allowed to make choices about managing their own risks in a controlled environment. Depriving children of taking risks can: Lack of experience to carry out tasks efficiently Decrease opportunities for physical opportunities An inability to cope in stressful situations Problems managing other forms of risks Poor social skills Children should be able to take both physical risks, social risks and intellectual risks. It is important for children to take physical risks because; Helps them to learn to negotiate natural hazards such as ice Learn to use equipment safely and purposely Developing control and coordination Children should also be allowed to take social and moral risks because; Helps them to develop an understanding of expectations and rules within different social settings Develops reasoning skills Helps them to negotiate with others including learning to say ‘no’ It is also important for

This will make it easier to form a relationship with child and carer. This will then lead to sharing experiences and express feelings, sharing ideas and thoughts and to gain and share information. Communicating with other members of staff means all needs are met, new needs are share and any health and safety
It is defined by experience and responsibility. Sheltering kids from the realities of the world does not prepare them for real life. If a child does not know about gun violence does not mean it does not exist. Being overly protective of children can harm them from developing sensibilities. Children need to learn at an early age that their actions have consequences.
