Task 13.1 As a practitioner it’s your duty to observe and maintain correct procedures to ensure that the children are offered a stimulating environment which will further allow optimum possibilities for development. All those who work with or amongst children and young people have a crucial role to play in helping not only to shape aspects of their lives, but to also aid in enhancing their future development. Therefore it can be stated that how we set up our own working practices can affect children and young people’s development. The necessity of encouragement and expression to children of the importance of good physical and mental health through their diet, exercise and healthy. If we do not promote and encourage a healthy and balanced lifestyle, it could results in the children having poorly developed immune system which in turn would cause them to be ill and have days off school which would affect their development.
It also helps agencies to work together in the future to try and prevent similar things happening again. A report will be written and made public so that people know what has been recommended. The DCSF sets out procedures that should be followed when reviewing a serious case. The duty that a setting has to safeguard its children, staff, parent’s/ carers and support its community in their inspection processes is paramount, this means that recommendations within serious case reviews offer the opportunity to examine current practice, what's happening and how it happens, within the setting and externally with other organisations/agencies/service providers. Through this, practitioners can pass on information via their meeting agendas or promotion of their open door policy for raising concerns about practice or that anyone feels has the potential to contribute to or cause children's vulnerability.

Introduction to personal development in health, social care or children’s and young people’s setting (SHC 22) – Unit 4222-202 Care workers promote the opportunity for service users to live in the community for as long as possible, by providing care and support to individuals and families.

CARERS GUIDE TO REFLECTIVE PRACTICE What is Reflective Practice? Reflective Practice is a conscious process. It means that you are thinking about what you are doing and learning from it. You may complete a task and afterwards think about how you carried this out, if you could have done it differently and what you have learned. Stages of Reflective Practice Stage 1: brief description of task, situation or incident which sets out intended purpose of intervention or objectives Stage 2: Planning work- what is needed Stage 3: What happened- what took place Stage 4: Reflective Practice – did the planning or intervention achieve its objectives.

With positive behaviour around, children find it much easier what is expected of them. Starting from a young age having boundaries with children is crucial so as they grow they will know what behaviour is acceptable and what behaviour isn't. They need consistency so that way staff have to work close with partent/carers to let them know what boundaries we have in our settings and try and get the partents to use our techniques at home so the children dont get confussed. Children need a lot of consistency in their lifes to help them know what is good behaviour. This also helps children take responsibility for their actions and also they are part of the process.
Unit 054 Principles for Implementing Duty of Care in Health, Social Care or Children’s and Young People’s Setting Outcome 1 Understand how Duty of Care contributes to Safe Practice 1) To me Duty of Care means to offer a caring environment at all times to any young person in my care at any time.

I would need to build a relationship with the young person to help keep them safe and follow all the above avenues. This will also enable me to provide opportunities of encouragement and support for them to reach their full potential. To offer and also guide them through emotional periods of their life.
Over time the information will give us a good picture of how our practice has developed, what we use over and over again that seems to guarantee results and where we are struggling. From this we can identify any possible further training that could help, feel confident in the areas that are working well and be able to pass any useful methods onto others. Feedback from others is invaluable as often you see more when you are on the outside and it can often help to have another’s point of view. Feedback from others may come as a result of a performance review, a class observation or a general observation by a colleague. Reflective practice is essential to personal development and the goals and targets put in place at performance reviews can help to focus you and give you a renewed sense of ability to succeed and achieve.
