Unit 8

1.1
I have worked as a Play worker at Fun 4 U 2 for just over 3 years now. My responsibilities and duties at work are to ensure every child is always safe and happy. One of the key roles in my job is communication with parents/carers, the children and also co-workers so I know everything I need to know to keep them safe e.g. if a child has an allergic reaction. In my work I try to promote equal opportunities to every child to the best of my ability. I have read and understood my company’s policies and procedures and am aware of what to do in most circumstances.

The standard procedures that influence the way I work in my role are as followed:
-Human rights act 1998
-Data protection act 1998
-Policies and procedures at work
-Health and safety act 1974
1.3
To ensure that my own personal attitudes and beliefs do not obstruct the quality of my work I must ensure that I am open and understanding to other attitudes/beliefs and respect that everyone has different views.
