Unit 025 Outcome 5 3 Explain how to support a child or young person and/or their family when bullying is suspected or alleged. When someone is being bullied it is important to remember that they will be hurt and upset. You must listen to them carefully and take what they say seriously. You also need to listen to the child, and be sensitive as they may be embarrassed. Always reassure a child or young person that it is not their fault that this is happening.
The early year’s practitioner has to put the requirements of the children first, because this will help by keeping the children out of harm and keeping them protected. Respecting the individuality and the rights of the children. Be sensitive with the children and encourage them to meet the standards for their abilities. In the past physical punishment on the children was tolerable as a manner of controlling and punishing, but not anymore. Children are now protected by the Law.
It has been said that all the violence in the world would slow down if we showed our children love and attention. So does that mean give them everything they want and never punish them? What about special needs children is it appropriate to us corporal punishment on them? So many people say do not use spanking as a form of punishment children with special needs children. Some kids with special needs do not feel pain so to spank them would be pointless.
Children should be given the chance to explore new risks, not to put them in danger, but to help them with their confidence. If children are exposed to risks while they’re growing up, they will be shown how to handle them. Some people may argue that the children taking risk can have a positive impact on children’s development and their needs. On the other hand, some may say exposing risks to children can be very dangerous and should be removed but in my opinion, if they aren’t exposed to risks, they will not be prepared for risks later in life and will not know how to take control of the situation. Yes, children may get hurt a little whilst exploring these risks but they will then learn how to avoid this hazard and keep safe in the future.An example from my setting is telling a child not to touch the radiator because it will be hot.
Analyse the Importance of Supporting Resilience in Children and Young People. Resilience is about being independent, standing on your own two feet or taking back the power. It is important because it can help reverse some of the effects that bullying can have on children and young people. It is also a life skill and will be useful to a child in many areas of life, it will give them confidence not only to stand up for themselves but also to champion the rights of others, it can help to increase the child’s value in themselves and helps to promote and restore self-esteem. It can prevent children taking more drastic action like self-harming or suicide and can send a message to the bullies that what they’re doing is not working.
Also if there ever come a time when I have to deal with a child when they are being rude, I would have to be patient with the child and also try to get the child to trust me. Although when I go into my field, I would like to learn how to better understand each individual child's problem and learn how to deal with it. My major has been a huge part of my life on how I would better myself as well as being a great early childhood development
Unit 10: Caring for Children and Young People P5 In this assignment I will be explaining the strategies and methods that can be used to support children, young people and their families when abuse is suspected or confirmed. A key method of ensuring support to children and young people is making sure that the care professionals know what abuse is, the signs of it, how it impacts people and knowing the methods in how they will support the children and young people who have been abused, as well as their families. It is important to remember that the child or young person who has been abused is at the centre of support and attention and know that they have people who are supporting and understanding them throughout the situation. When a child discloses information about themselves being abused there are numerous methods of how you can support them and their families; providing professional support for the child and their family is one of them. Counselling is available for a whole family as well as separately for the parents or the child.
As children grow and extend their horizons beyond their homes, organisations such as schools and youth groups have a particular role in safeguarding children and preventing harm occurring. They also educate children about risks and how these can be managed. Adopt the safest possible practices to minimise the possibility of harm or accidents happeningto children and protect workers from the necessity to take risks and leave themselves open toaccusations of abuse or neglect. Collaborative work between Child Protection, licensed children’s services and schools can improve outcomes for children, young people and their families. Effective collaboration on the creation of a working relationship based on principles of trust, respect and shared decision-making contributes to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people by protecting them from significant harm.When staff members form a reasonable belief that a child or young person has been harmed or is at risk of harm, they are ethically bound to take action to protect the safety and wellbeing of that child or young person.
I. What is Child Protective Services? A. The Child Protective Services program strives to ensure safe, permanent, nurturing families for children by protecting them from abuse and neglect while attempting to preserve the family unit B. Child Protective Services help prevent further harm to children from intentional physical or mental injury, sexual abuse, exploitation, or neglect by a person responsible for a child's health or welfare.
He belived that everyone starts at the bottom (physiological) and that no one can progress to the next stage (safety) until they have got the first stage and so forth until they have reached the top. This theory has been used in schools to help lessons as maslow said that students also need to progress through the stages to do well. By this he means those who havnt met their physiological needs (ie being tired in lesson) will not be able to focus in class. Once they have met that they need to feel safe in class so that they can concentrate as they will feel comfortable. They then need to feel accepted by the other students in class, once they feel accepted they can build up their self esteem meaning they can reach the last step of progressing well in their
