Childrens behaviour must be managed effectively and in a port appropriate for their stage of development and particular undivided needs. Suitable people Providers must go out that adults looking after children, or having unsupervised coming to th em, are suitable to do so. Adults looking after children must put one over appropriate qualifications, training, skills and knowledge.Staffing arrangements must be organised to ensure safety and to meet the needs of the children. Suitable premises, environment and equipment Outdoor and indoor spaces, furniture, equipment and toys must be safe and suitable for their purpose. Organisation Providers must plan and organise their systems to ensure that every child receives an enjoyable and challenging learning and development be intimate that is tailored to meet their individual needs. Documentation Providers must maintain records, policies and procedures needed for the safe and efficient management of the settings and to meet the needs of the children 1. I bemuse policies in place which cover Safeguarding policies and procedure for reporting Suitable soulfulness all adults have a current CRB Suitable premises well-rounded risk assessments are done and recorded daily Car travel, l ost child, nonify able diseases, large play equipment and garden indemnity, behaviour and somatogenic intervention. Accident and misfortune indemnity and record book, medical record, permission policy and emergency plan /childcare. Plus m whatever more to meet each childs age and abilities to safeguard myself and the child, parent/carers. T crave 3 3. 1 It is important to take a balanced approach to risk management to reduce the risk of injury or harm to the individual child The activity should be set up to meet each child s individual needs and be within their individual capabilities The activity should be aimed to enhance learning and but still must be within a safe environment A umbrella risk assessment should include the individual child s needs and abilities, challenging to the child s development but without excessive risk that may harm themselves of in- soulfulness Children and young people do non always have the skills to make judgement on safe choices and as carer s it is our responsibility to identify any hazards and make the judgement on when it is safe for the child to undertake an activity or make a personal choice. Children and young people need the freedom to explore an activity in a well controlled setting. For display case a baby may slip by to pull themselves up against a table or cupboard if the table has corner edges cushioned and the area around the table is clutter free this reduces the risk of harm if the baby falls the baby pull up stakes go on to keep trying without seeing the danger which is clear for adults the baby must e devoted the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas and do this without the risk of harm which can be eliminated if caution and care is taken. 3. 2 The plight between the rights of choices for young people and health and safety considerments Children learn by try new and exciting experiences they may not have the skills t make judgement but children are good at sagacity and deciding when they feel safe to try or join in with activity. Children need the freedom of choice but with reassurance and firm boundaries of safety they baffle more confident. Children need the freedom to explore and grow safely rise ups and cares need to take caution and reassure not control the situation so the child feels able to make a choice to explore a new activity. 3. 3 I have a trampoline policy and system between myself and the children in my care each child signs and agrees with the boundaries we set. The rules are make on a health and safety basis. Amount of children at one time. Rules concerning shoes and safe appropriate clothing no loose set up or baggy clothing. The safety of the zip and catch locks surrounding the trampoline and the use of the ladder. If the rules are broken ten the trampoline is out of use until the child re-reads and resigns the policy in place. I also have a behaviour policy which the child and i write together including safety of equipment and around the hous e.
