Outcome Title: Know how to address conflicts or dilemmas that may arise between an individual's rights and the duty of care.
2.1
2.2
2.3
In my setting there are times when conflicts or dilemmas could arise between the duty of care and the child's rights and wishes. Our role as the carers of the children is not to stop them from doing certain things or what they want but to make sure they know and understand the possible effects. There must be a balance between the two situations although the most important thing that needs to be applied is that the child’s safety is taking centre point. As well as considering these factors we must also remember that the child will have their own wishes and times when they will have the rights to make up their own mind, this is where a balanced approach must come in place. In my setting as well as conflicts with children and staff there may also be times when conflicts or dilemmas arise between staff and parents/carers, in this case it is important we put any personal opinions to side and work together for the sake of the child and their best interests. Conflicts and dilemmas in our setting sometimes arise when a child wants to go outside without wearing their coats or jumpers etc. This is the child’s own personal choice but as their carers it is important we try to settle the situation explaining why they need a coat, to prevent them from being cold and becoming sick. Another dilemma we sometimes face is with healthy eating, as well as this being a personal choice it is the best interest of the child if they do practice healthy eating. As our duty of care and to follow school policies we therefore need to imply this to the child explaining how it will help them grow big and strong and that they are getting all the correct nutrients needed for part
