1.2 Explain the factors that need to be taken into account when assessing development. The factors that need to be taken into account when assessing the development should involve: • Confidentiality is very fundamental, especially for the safety of a child or young person confidentiality must be breached. When assessing a child I must be careful to take into account all the issues of confidentiality before carrying out the observation. I must have the parents’ and the settings permission and I am not allowed to leave the confidential material lying around. Such materials must be secured in the locked cabinet.
Students on placement in the nursery are advised of our confidentiality policy and required to respect it. • Is the information up to date and correct. Any concerns and evidence relating to a child's safety are kept in a secure, confidential file and are shared with people on a "need-to-know" basis. If, however, a child is considered at risk, our safeguarding children policy will override confidentiality. (for example if a child's accident form or medical treatment form, is needed to be
Including time, date, name of child making disclosure, name of person the concern was reported to and the exact words used during the disclosure. I need to remember that my duty is not to investigate or question any concerns of a child or young person but to fallow my setting policy and procedures. If a child makes a disclosure (tells me) that they are being harmed or abused, I must record as accurately as possible what the child has said, where and when the disclosure was made and the matter must be reported in the first instance to Children’s Social Care, Early Years Service and Ofsted as a matter of urgency. It is important that I do not ask the child questions or probe for information as this could contaminate evidence and hinder any further
Your duty of care is also that you act within your own competence and do not do anything which you cannot do safely. Implementing duty of care also requires following procedures and policies and working to agreed standards which include the protection from dangers, harm and abuse whilst respecting individual's rights and choices. 2. How does duty of Care contribute to the safeguarding and protection of your service users? Safeguarding is protection of vulnerable people from abuse and harm.
Avoiding bias when observing children we must remain completely objective also having 2 people observing the child at the same time can produce a more accurate account. Overall there are 6 main factors that need to be taken into account when assessing development: • Confidentiality and when, for the safety of the child or young person confidentiality must be breached. • Children’s wishes
Children should be protected and be at a minimal risk even if consent is given. Culture considerations should be taken when being considered for research because the treatment or evaluation may interfere with the beliefs or customs and they may not fully understand the details. Confidentiality of participants is of high importance of the research. Participant’s private information should be held confidential and the individual’s privacy should be protected. The research priorities should never violate the participant’s privacy rights.
In order for child protection to work effectively we need to ensure we have good inter relationships with other agencies and good co-operation from professionals that are competent in responding to child protection situations. Procedures must be in place for recording concerns and incidents if a child discloses information regarding his/her welfare. We must make a record of exactly what the child has said, in their own words, reporting it into the safeguarding book and then to the
Trained teachers will automatically know the types of measures to use incase a student exhibits a certain undesirable behavior. These measures will ensure that students behave in an appropriate manner and their performance is excellent. They will also make sure that the relationship and interaction between them and their students is healthy therefore building a favorable learning environment. They should be in a favorable condition to notice various problems that individual students go through, advice, keep close watch and offer valid solutions. For a school to be the best place to mould good behavior and emotions, it needs to have consistent rules and consequences in case an individual breaks them.
We are committed to ensuring that all children with additional needs are identified early, referred to appropriate services and monitored through effective information sharing between agencies and professionals. It’s important that referrals are made in order for the child and young person to get the best possible outcomes and by practitioners doing observations and recording evidence, that help refer child to the appropriate professionals and services. A referral can be made by professionals, practitioners, parents and carers, child or young person by themselves. As a practitioners we have to remember to obtain the informed consent either from the parent, carer or young person to the provision of the service. It’s very important to use clear and sensitive language, remember about cultural differences and ideas about behavioural and mental health issues.
It can provide guidance to staff when dealing with inappropriate behaviour presented by a child/young person. It states how to encourage positive behaviour, the importance of being fair and consistent, I feel it is very important that all staff are consistent and apply the rules, rewards and consequences in the same way. Children’s behaviour must be managed effectively and in a manner appropriate for their stage of development and particular needs. Each school or setting should have a named person that deals with behaviour management. I feel it is important to remain professional and not label children as ‘Naughty’ instead we should be choosing to say words such as ‘un-acceptable or
