CYP Core 3.4: Support children and young people’s health and safety. 1, Understand how to plan and provide environments and services that support children and young people’s health and safety. Describe the factors to take into account when planning healthy and safe indoors and outdoors environments and services Factors to be considered for indoor environments include: Space – is there enough space or room for the pupils to achieve what they should, does furniture need moving if perhaps the class were having circle-time Accessibility – if a pupil is in a wheelchair they need to have as much access to the classroom facilities as others. Furniture and resources may need to be moved. Light – may need to be adjusted accordingly if a child or young person is visually impaired Sound – some pupils may be sensitive to sound, for example, a child on the autistic spectrum.
We are also required to sometimes work with individual groups of pupils on set tasks or individually with pupils who need one to one support. A teaching assistant also displays work of the pupils in a complimentary way and this is very important to give an ego boost to the pupils and to celebrate their achievements. We also have to display pupils targets, class rules and other words/numbers from various topics. Sometimes a TA is required to work with pupils who have a disability or learning difficulty on a one to one base to help them achieve the same goals as their peers keeping them in mainstream school can be extremely important and a pupil with these difficulties will often need extra support to understand their work. Quite often a TA is responsible for supervising the pupils at playtimes, on school outings, or just generally in the classroom and also offering additional support to the teaching staff in all areas.

Cyp3.4-A healthy and safety booklet for early years staff. 1.1- A description of the factors to take into account when planning healthy and safe indoor and outdoor environment and services. There are lots of important principles to take into consideration when planning healthy and safe indoor and outdoor environment for children and young people. We must take into consideration that every child/ young person has their own individual needs and we must make sure we meet their needs but depending on their age and stage of development and their abilities, for example: A child who uses a wheelchair will need ramps to be able to get in and out of the setting and will need space to move around the setting. A 2 year old may use the space differently to an 8 year old.
The key strategic purpose of the teachers is to prepare lessons to impart information and make them as interesting as possible to keep children engaged and to promote learning by leading discussion and encourage participation. They must ensure the classroom environment is supportive for all learners. Teachers should prepare homework and assignments to assess learner’s progress and feed that back to both students and families. Support staff roles refers to any school employee allocated to assist administrators, teachers etc. to address special needs within the school.

Within their playground the play equipment should be age appropriate. The chairs in the classroom should be the appropriate size so they are able to sit comfortably when working.
