(C1) It is important for childcare practitioners to consider the individual care and learning needs of every child within their care, which will allow them to plan a challenging and enabling environment which supports all areas of learning and development.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) states that: “Every child is a unique child” and will therefore not always learn in the same way or at the same time. A child with special educational needs should have an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) to highlight their learning needs, for example a child with dyslexia may find it difficult to read worksheets in the classroom, the needs of the child can be facilitated by using coloured paper which will enable them to read the worksheets more comfortably. Children with medical needs will need to have an Individual Health Care Plan (IHP) in place; this will identify the level of medical support needed for the child within the setting. In the case of a child with diabetes it is important for the practitioner to know the details of the child’s insulin and the dosage requirements as well as understanding how and when to administer it to the child, this will reduce the likelihood of the child experiencing Hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels) or Hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels).
