Cache Child Care Level 3
E1+E2- There are five pieces of current legislation which include: RIDDOR 1995 (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations), PPI 1992 (Personal Protective Equipment at Work Act, Disability Discrimination Act 1995, Sex Discrimination Act 1975&1986 and finally The Race Relations Act 1976. RIDDOR will influence working practises in a setting because it enforces policies into nursery settings that make it vital that RIDDOR is put into place by keeping a record book (accidents book). A record book is used to record accidents that have occurred and the treatment that has been given and then the parents of the injured child are informed. Secondly, PPI will influence working practises at work because employees who may be exposed to health and safety risks should be provided with the necessary protective clothing e.g. protective gloves, aprons and masks. All setting must have a good stock of equipment for staff to use for any first aid treatment, nappy changing and toileting. Thirdly, the Disability Discrimination Act of 1995; this act requires all settings to make reasonable adjustments to be accessible to people with disabilities. For example, if a person is in a wheelchair then as part of the law, a setting must provide ramps or lifts to make it easier for them to move around. Or, if a child has a learning disability or something different such as short sightedness then you would need to make reasonable adjustments during their learning e.g. making the font bigger on a white board or giving them a copy of the work they’re learning on a piece of paper. Fourthly, the Sex Discrimination Act of 1975&1986; this makes it illegal to discriminate against someone because of their gender; it also protects people against sexual harassment. This law isn’t really crucial in a nursery setting because all children work together in a group no matter what their gender is. However, practitioners in a setting do need to make sure that all children are

    Childcare Level 3 Unit 1

    The three different types of setting are statutory, voluntary and private, each of these areas and provide different types of care and education. Statutory education is where the state fund the setting and it is run by the government. Voluntary education is done for free, the carer or the setting volunteer to do the work. This would include leisure activities such as Brownies, Cubs or other types of youth clubs. The workers that are within the setting, do this for free or as a hobby, however if there were to be trips for the children, they would then have to pay expenses. Private is totally different to these two types of settings. Private settings aim to gain money and are a profitable company/business. This includes private tutors, clubs, babysitting, and even some primary/ secondary school and nurseries. Statutory settings don’t usually make any money, as the education is free for the child, such as primary schools, high school, and some nurseries. However statutory settings don’t always include education, they also include health and care. The NHS is a state run health program where children of all ages can receive free medication, doctors’ appointments and are also eligible for free dentistry. Children are also entitled to Child Care Services; this is from the state where if the child were in danger within their home they have a right to be protected by the Child Care Services. Other statutory services available to children are libraries and other leisure activities. This is due to not having to pay a membership and they are still able to access the setting.…
