Often children and young people can become seriously ill very suddenly which means that as a member of staff they should be alert to any changes in their behaviour which could indicate pain or nausea. When a child becomes sick or lets the school staffs know that they feel unwell, staff will need to sufficiently look after them until their parent or a carer arrives to collect them. In life threatening situations the emergency services should always be contacted straight away. An emergency situation which requires urgent medical attention includes: * An open wound that won’t stop bleeding or where the blood is pumping out. * Burns or scalds to the child’s skin * Meningitis symptoms such as a stiff neck, fever, headache and a rash that doesn’t fade when pressed by a glass.
When a child or infant have anaphylactic shock it’s because they have a reaction to something and then the chemicals are released into the blood then that will widen the blood vessels so that will cause the blood pressure to fall. So that the air passage will narrow, therefore that will give the child or infant breathing difficulties. On the other hand the tongue and throught will swell then that will obstruct the airway. An infant or chid that is having anaphylactic shock will need urgent medical help because this might be a fatal. The signs & symptom’s that might come at once so the child might lose consciousness: high pitched wheezing sound, blotchy/ itchy/ raised rash, swollen eye lids, lips and tongue, difficulty speaking then breathing, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea.

Many researchers have reason to believe that a child has theses defects due to how their mothers carried them while in their womb. However, it is not only the mental disorders that affect a person but the environment as well because violence and crime occur everywhere and could be motivating onto children and teens. Many people are affected by the environment they grow and live in; those in which the environment promotes crime and violence would most definitely encourage the illicit legacy. Therefore, even if a person were to have biologically inhibited a mental disorder, they should be cautious of being around others who may trigger their violent action.

This swing set has no swings and it could be a hazard because children may climb the pole and sit at the top but they may then fall off and
