child care learning and development
the Children's Care, Learning and Development (CCLD) National Occupational Standards were reviewed in 2011/12 following extensive sector consultation. They describe the skills and knowledge required by those working in a variety of Early Years settings and in services for children and young people.
It is our duty under the HSW to ensure that all children are safe when in when in our care. This means that all qualified people within this environment must have a qualification in first aid and be able to carry out risk assessments when required.
Some examples of the type of risk assessments we must do are as follows:
There must always be enough adult supervisors Any climbing aids such as step ladders must be put away immediately after use No chemicals such as bleach and detergents’ should be left out Electrical plug sockets should be covered at all times All exit doors should be locked All fire escapes should be clear
In addition we must also be vigilant in noticing how a child attends that day. For example do they have a bruise on their face and if so it should be noted or has the bruise been noticed later during the day. If this is the case then every attempt should be made to cooborate with another trained professional that they didn’t attend with the bruise. Then, it should be noted in the incident book. If we have any further concerns about the incident we should refer it to our line manager who in turn can follow it up.
Relevant legal requirements covering the way you relate to and interact with children.
The Children’s Act 2004
The Children Bill received Royal Assent on 15 November and is now the Children Act 2004. The Act provides a legislative spine for the wider strategy for improving children’s lives. This covers the universal services which every child accesses, and more targeted services for those with additional needs.
