CYP CORE 3.4 Support Children and Young People’s Health and Safety
Awareness of Healthy and Safety is one of the most important factors in all workplaces. Safety is an essential basic human need, and it is vital that we allow everyone to feel as safe and secure as possible in life. So that there is a low risk of someone becoming hurt or ill, it is important to ensure the environment is safe before allowing anyone to work on the premises. We must be aware of how to provide a safe, healthy environment for children and young people, without risk of accident or emergencies taking place. When planning a healthy, safe environment for children and young people, it is essential to take a number of factors into consideration. These factors are; the
Each of these pieces of legislation are equally as important in ensuring that the upmost health and safety is provided in childcare settings. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, states that employers have a duty to; make the workplace as safe as possible, display a health and safety guidance poster, or a hand out leaflet with the same information. They must decide upon how to manage health and safety, and this must be stated within a workplace policy. The employees of the company also have a duty to work safely. They must follow all guidance which is given, and should never work in a way which would put themselves and others in danger. If there is ever any problem, the employee has a duty to report these, so that can be resolved quickly and efficiently. Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH), states that, safe workplaces depend on a careful approach to cleaning materials, or other hazardous substances. There should be risk assessments taken for each substance which could cause harm, such as bleach or solvents. This will tell workers about the dangers, and what they can do to minimise the risks which
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
