Task 3
(027.3.3)
3.3. Give example from own practice of supporting children or young people to assess and manage risks.
Children should be adviced to be more aware of their surroundings and when they make their own risk assessments to think about the possible consequences of their actions.
The children and the young people are usually good at deciding what is safe for them, do they feel confidant to take part of the activity or they are not sure about it. Some Schools and Nurseries are using large play equipment, this give to the children ability to learn how to assess and manage risk in what they are doing. It is important as practitioners to give plenty of encouragement and continued support whilst all children and young people are taking part in the activity. But we always have to think about the risk assessment, and consider measures which we can put in place to reduce risk. In particular, if I think something is particularly dangerous, and I am feeling worried that someone will get hurt, I would do changes to make it less dangerous. For example
In my work with Preschool every day I am doing art activities. All most in all the time the children have assess and they are using scissors. On the table I have six or eight children some of them are really confident in cutting, some need support. However, I always explain why we have to be careful with scissors and what can be the consequences from putting fingers between the blades or why we do not run with sharp objects in the classroom. Letting the children cut by themselves lets them have independence and helps them to develop their fine motor skills. They are able to learn to use the scissors more effectively and hand eye co-ordination.
Other example
Our Nursery had summer fair with bouncy castle for the children. Because is not activity of our daily routines and it is a popular activity all children wanted to take part.
However, if a child falls off the bouncy castle, they may get hurt
