Task 1: Write an explanation of: * what it means to have a duty of care in own work role * How duty of care contributes to the safeguarding or protection of individuals Duty of care is a requirement and obligation that a person in a caring role has to make sure that others are taken care of and not harmed. It includes watching out for potential hazards and trying to prevent mistakes and accidents. It is important because of a duty of care is not met then the responsible person can be held accountable if things go wrong. A carer in early years has a duty of care to protect the children in their care by following the legislation and the policies and procedures that are in place at the workplace. Policies and procedures are put in place so that there are rules and boundaries to make sure that people know how to work in the setting and what is expected of them to prevent harm and danger to others in the work setting.
Tassoni. P (2007) says that “we need to work as part of a team to provide a quality service for children and their parents”. We also need to work with the parents and show respect towards them and encourage parent’s involvement within the setting. Tassoni says that “early years setting will have a management structure which should clarify practitioner’s responsibilities”. A responsibility practitioners have is to make sure the health of the child is paramount this could be by preventing hazards and carrying out risk assessments and safety checks.
Do the variables reflect the concepts identified in the framework and are the variables clearly defined (conceptually and operationally) based on previous research and or theories (Perron, Sommer, Hudelson, Demaurex, Luthy, Louis-Simonet, et al., 2009)? In this research study on effective communication, the project is outlined for the researcher and the study group. For the classroom, there is a syllabus for the students to follow. The demographic variables being examined are communication between staff and communication between patients and staff. It is important for staff to know there may be linguistic barriers when communicating with patients and family members.
CYPCore32-1.1 Explain the factors that need to be taken into account when assessing development. When assessing development, we need to take into consideration a few factors such as: * Confidentiality: We’d need consent from the parent to carry out an observation of a child/ young person. But we also need to be careful with the contents of the observations we make; we need to ensure any notes we’re taking, any recording or any register about the child is out of the reach of anyone who is not ourselves, the parent and someone who is involved with the child’s education and needs to have access to this. If we need to show our notes to someone duo to our own education process, someone like a tutor for example, then we need to protect the identity of the child by not using their names. In case there’s any safeguard issue, we should follow the safeguarding procedures which may involve breaching confidentiality but then again only if/ when necessary and only the people who need to have information will do so.
Prevention - it is better to take action before harm occurs 3. Proportionality - proportionate and least intrusive response appropriate to the risk presented 4. Protection - support and representation for those in greatest need 5. Partnerships - local solutions through services working with their communities 6. Accountability - accountability and transparency in delivering safeguarding The Care Act 2014 recognises that local authorities cannot safeguard individuals on their own; it can only be achieved by working together with the Police, NHS and other key organisations as well as awareness of the wider public.
- If legal proceedings should occur then parents should continue to be involved with their children, even if the parents were separated or divorced. - The welfare of a child should be promoted by a healthy partnership between the local authority and by family involved. The most important ruling of the children’s act was the welfare of the child and it should be regarded paramount by a court in any question of the child’s upbringing. The following checklist must take place by a court when making a decision about a child’s future; - The wishes and feelings of the child/young person must be taken into consideration and that the child has a chance to expresses their concerns and opinions. - The physical, emotional and the educational needs of a child be taken into thought - e.g.

Responding to this enquiry will be the welfare requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage by promoting the health and hygiene of all children. In my setting it is not in their policy to care for sick children and they advise parents to keep their child at home for 48 hours from the last time they were sick, however they will care for a child who is recovering from an illness.

The children have their input and their wishes are taken into consideration before any decisions are made with regards to their care.
