1.2 Explain how duty of care contributes to the safeguarding of individuals. All workers in a childcare setting have a ‘duty of care’ to protect both children and other co-workers. Duty of care means that a person or group has a responsibility to ensure that there is reasonable standard of attention and care given to avoid neglect which may lead to or cause harm to others. It is important to excersice duty of care, especially in young children to help them to develop immune systems which can protect them from childhood illness and other diseases, which may cause them harm ot disable them later in life. Children develop the ability to see potential dangers and learn how to deal with them.

Always seek advice from the manager. This is very important because if someone has asked you to keep something confidential in the workplace and you are worried about the information you have been given, you should always do this in an area where nobody can overhear what you are saying. It’s better to seek advice verbally rather than using communication such as email, which other people could access.

The School treats Health and Safety seriously, from the playground to the classrooms, the people in the setting are made aware of the risks and told that possible risks are also laminated and put on the walls as an extra reminder of any risks there may be.
So you are able to meet their personal needs. Teachers should make sure their learners will be safe physically. for example, making sure that the building meets the rules of health and safety: making sure the fire exits are easily accessible, making sure the structure is appropriate for the learners needs. Such as a ramp for a physically disabled learner. Also teachers need to make sure all the equipment the learners will be using during the course is safe for them to use.

( such as in event of a fire, the information will be needed) If any of this information is requested for whatever reason, the parent’s permission will also need to be given. Staff do not discuss personal information given by parents with other members of staff, except where it affects planning for the child's needs.

They will have to do regular checks to make sure the area is safe; this includes any electrical/sharp or hazards etc. everyone who works in the setting is responsible for reporting any dangerous area and keeping the staff and children safe. All settings should have a written statement which identifies the safety in the placement and it’s the law for everyone to oblige to it. I strongly believe in the health and safety at work act because, you’re putting young lives at risk.
