I am in the garden with one teacher and two other teaching assistants on 20/09/2012. The garden activity centre is out, and there are various activities set at different areas. I am walking around the garden observing the children whilst they are playing. Suddenly, child A falls off the activity centre and lands on her bottom. I walk over to her and ask her “are you ok?” She looks at me with tears in her eyes and nods. I bend down to her and ask her “are you sure?” She looks at me and shakes her head. I then take her hand, help her up, and lead her over to the teacher. I explain to the teacher “child A fell off the activity centre and landed on her bottom. I asked child A if she was ok and she shook her head.” The teacher then said to child A “are you hurt?” Child A looked at the teacher and nodded. The teacher then asked me “can you take her to the office please to see the first aider?” I answered “ok.” I looked at child A and said “come on, it’s ok.” I took child A to the office and the first aider, and told the first aider “child A fell off the activity centre and landed on her bottom.” The first aider handed me an accident form to fill out whilst she looked at child A. The reason why I asked child A if she was ok, was to reassure her and comfort her so she know she was safe and not in trouble. The reason why I took child A to the office is because that is my settings procedures for accidents. I filled in an accident form because that is also my settings procedures. Next time, I will let the other staff know, so that they can observe the other children and keep them

    Can Cyp Core 3.4 Support Children And Young People's Health And Safety

    Every workplace setting must have policies and procedures on how to record these issues. Parents of children who are involved in an accident, incident or emergency must be made aware of the details of the issue. If the injury is minor, such as a grazed knee, then the practitioner will ensure that the parent is told of the injury when they collect the child. However in the case of a major accident, incident or emergency, the parent/carer of the child must be made aware as soon as possible, so that they can be involved in any decisions on what to do with the child. Every workplace by law must have an Accident Reporting Book, and must maintain record of accidents within the setting. In order to do this the information which must be recorded includes, the name of the person injured, the date and time of the injury, where the accident happened, what exactly happened, what injuries occurred, what treatment was given, the name and signature of the person who is dealing with the accident, the person who is witness to report, and the signature of the parent or carer. There must be duplicate copies of the form so that the child’s parent/carer can be given one, and the other copy is kept as evidence in the Accident Reporting Book. If a child becomes unwell while in the care of your setting, you must initially report it to the manager or supervisor, and it must then…

    Explain How The Policies And Procedures To Protect Children And Young People

    Policies and procedures are put into place to protect children and young people but also the adults/staff who work with them in the setting, it is very important that all professionals within the work place follow safe working practices to make sure that not only the children and young people are protected but also themselves and their colleagues. E.g. if a disclosure is made by either a child or young person to a member of the staff within the setting it is vital that the information they have trusted you with is always taken very seriously even if it this is proven to be untrue or partly inaccurate. The child or young person should always be listened to by staff in a calm and supportive manner which will allow them to talk freely, openly and be able to make them feel confident with expressing their views, also another important factor is that they are reassured about telling someone and expressed how hard it must have been for them so they always feel like they can come to you to talk to you when they need to and they don’t ever feel alone, scared or a burden to anyone. Once the disclosure has been made and the child or young person is calm, secure and reassured the employee or adult should inform the designated safeguarding officer straight away, applicable notes should be…
