Unit 3 Assignment: Supporting children- Resubmission
E1 E2 A1- There are many legislations today linked with working settings for children. One of these is The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

It states on legislation.gov.uk that The Health and Safety at Work Act is ‘an act to make further provision for securing the health, safety and welfare of persons at work, for protecting others against risks to health or safety in connection with the activities of persons at work, for controlling the keeping and use and preventing the unlawful acquisition, possession and use of dangerous substances, and for controlling certain emissions into the atmosphere; to make …show more content…
One of these is moving school. Whilst going through this transition schools can help support the child by arranging a pre visit for the child to attend the school before attending their first day, this will help the child as they will become familiar with the setting and not have the feeling of getting lost in the setting on the first day. Also the teacher could do a home visit so the child could get to know the teacher and feel comfortable with them before starting the school. It states in education.vic that ‘As an early childhood professional, you can support the children in your care and their families to make this transition as smooth as possible. It is important for you to understand that the transition experience starts well before, and extends far beyond, a child’s first day of school.’ (http://www.education.vic.gov.au/childhood/professionals/learning/Pages/transition.aspx?Redirect=1, 3-2-2014).

One of these is a child having a disability, for example a child who is permanently in a wheelchair and the setting does not have a ramp for the child to accesses the setting or a lift for the child to move around the setting this is discriminating the child or any wheelchair user who visits the setting as they do not feel valued and do not feel welcome. This will affect the Childs confidence and self esteem. Another cause of discrimination is if there are children with a different skin colour in the setting there should be displays throughout the setting to make the child feel accepted and welcome for their families. If not it may affect the child’s confidence and make the child feel that they do not want to go that setting. Another cause of discrimination is stereotyping for example not allowing a boy play with dolls as dolls are seen to be a girl’s toy. From this it will give the child a lack of independence and lack in confidence as the child will feel they can’t do something because of their gender. Setting help prevent discrimination by putting policies and procedures into place they help practitioners by giving them guidelines for them to follow when talking to children and also parents that will not make them feel any different for any other person and to make them feel valued. Practitioners also prevent discrimination by presenting lessons on events that may be occurring in other religions or cultures e.g. Chinese new
