Unit 1
E1 - Describe 3 different types of settings which provide care and education for children in your area. A Statutory setting is funded by the government and means you have to go into that setting by law. This means that legislation has been passed and it requires the government and local authorities to open the required settings.
A Private setting is not funded by government but they get a profit from their students as they have to pay a termly/yearly fee to the setting. This money pays for all the children’s education. Although they are not government funded they still need to pass regular health and safety checks and still follow some sort of curriculum.
A Voluntary setting is provided by organisations or charities. Most of their funding comes from donations from either the charity themselves or outside help such as wealthy people. They do not need to pay for the staff as they volunteer for this work. It does not make any profit, and any spare income from the setting goes into educations trips or activities. An example of a voluntary setting in my area is the after school clubs at my local primary school.
E2 – Describe how each of the types of settings identified in E1 aims to support children and families.
A Statutory setting helps to support children by teaching them a range of skills such as Maths and English. They give them help in skills they lack in, so if they are not as skilled in maths as in English they will get individual help in that particular subject and their needs will be tailored to. They also get emotional support so if they are having trouble at home teachers or councillors will be called in to help the child and talk through their issues. They support the parents by giving them feedback from the child’s work in the past term and tell the parents how they have progressed throughout the time period. They get financial help with school trips so that their child can learn
