1.3 What is a risk assessment? And how does your setting carry out risk assessments on a daily basis?

|A risk assessment is a careful examination of what may cause harm within a certain area, once the risks and hazards are identified you |
|are then able to weigh up whether enough precaution has been taken. The reason a risk assessment must be completed is all people entering|
|the area have a right to be protected from harm which has been caused by a failure to take responsible control measures. |

2.1 Explain why a safe yet challenging environment is important for children and young people
| |

2.2 Identify the differences between a risk and a hazard
|A hazard is something that could cause harm, this maybe electrical, chemical. The risk is the chance that a hazard may happen these|
|are often record high or low, in my setting this may include a child having a toy small enough they could put it in to their mouth |
|and choke on it, or a child coming into the setting with an illness as there is a risk they could pass it on. |
