E1, E2, E3 E4
Children Act 1989 The Children Act focuses on the welfare of the child and stated that “the welfare of the child is the paramount consideration.” (Children Act 1989 www.devon.co.uk) In my setting the child is at the heart of everything to do with him/her. For example the setting plans outdoor activities in which they may play or do classroom related activities. The setting has to take in consideration the child’s safety through the environment, the activity planned, how the children will get there and the practitioner to child ratio.
This piece of legislation links to the child protection policy, this policy ensures that all children in the setting are protected. The policy aims to protect the child by all means from confidentiality, photo/video, to bullying, suspected abuse and much more. It states the proper procedures to use with each area. EG the NSPCC child protection policy states that you should “report any concerns to the club child protection officer or the school (wherever the bullying is occurring).” (Child protection policy. www.NSPCC.org) This particular policy is regarding sports clubs but is very much the same with the schools themselves. The policy also states that you should “encourage and support the bully(ies) to change behaviour.” (Child protection policy www.NSPCC.org)
This promotes a fair balance between help for the child being bullied and the child(ren) bullying him/her. Thus promoting fairness and equality between the children involved.
Race Relations Act 1976 The Race Relations Act focuses on racial discrimination and states that “It is hereby declared that for the purposes of this Act segregating a person from other persons on racial grounds is treating him less favourably than they are treated.” (www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpqa/1976/74#p+1-l1q3) This meaning that if someone purposely denies someone anything for skin colour is being racist and that is wrong in terms of society and this act. This is followed closely
