An Introduction to Working with Children
Unit 1- An Introduction to Working with Children
The first type of setting I’m going to choose is a Speech and Language therapist, this is a statutory provision. This is a service which has to be available by law. Speech and Language therapist help children who have trouble with their speech, if a practitioner feels that the child doesn’t speak a lot for their age comparing to the norm of children around them then they will contact this setting who will then come round and help the child develop their speech. Not only do they help with speech but if there is baby who has difficulties in swallowing and feeding then the Speech and Language therapist will help for that occasion to. They visit all types of setting such as schools, day nurseries and children’s centres so that the child can develop their speech but at the same time stay in their setting. This setting aims to support families and children by helping the family to find different ways in which they can communicate with their child, they will also provide the family with ideas on how they can improve the speech of their child or give them new feeding techniques for babies.
For a private provision I am going to choose a Jersey GP, this is a profit making setting. GP’s in jersey are paid for there are several different GP companies and they are all private. On occasions they will do home visits but it is most common to go up to the setting and visit your GP. Each family or person will have a GP which they would have been with for years and that is known as a family GP. A GP supports children and their families when they are ill and will provide them with medication or even if they have any concerns about their child the GP will help them out and sometimes put them through to another service if needed like the hospital.
A voluntary provision would be a youth club; voluntary provisions are services which get their money from charities, donations from publics and grants from the government. Youth clubs are
