Transport the children will be using, and the driver should be adequately insured.
In placement and my role:
Making sure that all parents and carers are aware of where the child is going and what they will be doing on the outing, also making sure the parents and carers have given the child full permission to go out on the outing. If the children need any medical needs like epi-pens, asthma pumps or medication, they will need to make sure that there is someone qualified to assist the children with any medical needs. This is achieved by making sure they have enough members of staff at all times throughout the outing like for when they may need to split up or if a child becomes injured that there will be enough members for two to go with the child. Also make sure they have carried out a risk assessment and found ways to overcome those risks. My role would be to help make sure that all the children are safe and doing what they are meant to be doing at all times.

    I have a duty of care to ensure that all children under my care and assistants who work alongside me are kept safe from harm. This means I must carry out risk assessments to ensure that their environment is a safe and clean space for them to explore, work and play in. I also teach the children the dangers some of their actions can have on themselves and others and actively encourage both children and assistants I work with to report any dangers they may find in the setting, such as broken toys. I also have a duty of care to safeguard children in recording any unexplained marks or bruising which may give cause for concern and reporting these concerns to Somerset’s Safeguarding Children’s Board if reasonable explanation is not given or I deem it necessary. I also record any accidents or incidents that occur whilst the children are under my care and inform the children’s families of the medical assistance I may have given. Following these accidents/incidents I review how the accident/incident could’ve been prevented and address these issues appropriately in my risk assessments and my continual reflective diary.…

    When children are under the supervision of adults the children then become the adults responsibility. If a child happens to get lost the adult would then be held responsible. The dangers of a child getting lost could mean they may have been abducted, could of got a seriously or minor injury. As the trip will have a lot of things to look at, a child may get easily distracted from what is around them or could easily walk off to another attraction. If a child was to walk off and was to notice they were alone they could panic and would not have the ability to recognise what to do or who to ask for help. D1; There are ways to prevent a child getting lost, as a large group of children will be attending the trip it would be appropriate to put them in to groups with a ratio such as there are 22 children and 7 adults this would equate to 3 children to 1 adult (3; 1) this will help keep the children under control and having fewer faces in a group will help them recognise better who apart of their group. Another way to prevent it would be making sure the children come in uniform this will be easier for the staff and children to recognise who is apart off their nursery. Children should be reminded not to wander of and to stay wear an adult can supervise them. If a child was to get lost they could carry a card or wear a wristband that could contain details about the nursery and emergency contact…

    successful inclusion of students with disabilities by general education teachers is the acquisition of certain knowledge and understanding about the needs of different learners, teaching techniques and curriculum strategies, and other components that prepare the special education students as well as the general education students to excel. This challenge can be alleviated by ensuring that general education teachers receive scheduled group sessions that allow them to share experiences, ask advice of experienced special education teachers or specialists, and gain skills and understanding. Hence without the proper professional development for general education teachers, the goals of the IDEIA cannot be met and the special education students would…

    This would be a good place to visit as some of the children have never been but there are concerns about health and safety and the risk of being in a big open space but to minimise the risk a risk assessment will be done. This will identify the hazards and the control measures to reduce the risk. You would discuss this as a year group to ensure that all staff understand their roles on the trip. A letter will be sent home with the children in your year group to get parental consent if the school doesn’t have a parent signature the child will not be allowed to go on the trip. This letter also has all the information the parents will need to know like places they will be visiting e.g. a museum, butterfly gardens.…
