This is particularly true in cases of suspected child abuse or when a child or young person is at risk. You should at all times tell the individual that you will not be able to keep confidentiality if they disclose something to you which you cannot keep to yourself for these reasons. Any adults who work with children and young people will come to know most of the personal information like date of birth, address and contact details and also sensitive information like behavioural issues, some medical information, family background, whether parents are divorcing and so on. It is the responsibility of the adult to keep this information confidential. They must protect the identity of the child they work with and that of their families and carers.

5.1) Evaluate how learning activities have affected practice. every time you go into work, you practise/carry out your skills whether that is settling a new child in, helping children in creative activities etc. Every time you do something such as a painting activity (say over months/years etc) probably without even thinking you may be adapting - something that may be beneficial to you and the other adults (perhaps the way you prepare things) or it may beneficial for an individual child - say you've notice that very small children can't reach the easel, so you will adapt or change either by resourcing a smaller easel so they can reach, or if it is something that is presently too expensive, you'll think about it and think if we hold the paper lower down with a bulldog clip on the side (perhaps not ideal, but they can reach it).

I also watch for signs of emotional or developmental problems in children and write anything that concerns me about the child/ children, then I bring the issues to the attention of centre's coordinator or supervisor to inform parents/ guardians. I always listen carefully to children and this helps me determine a child's needs and aids in promoting the child's development. Inclusive childcare is very important whether or not children experience disabilities or other special needs. Every single day at the setting, I make sure all children fee a sense of belonging. I let children participate in the same routines and play experiences, this way I learn to recognize children as distinct individuals with special strengths and needs.
