Unit 1 – An introduction to working with children
E1 – A Statutory sector is all the organisations that are set up and funded by the government for the public. In this instance it focuses on the types of settings which provide care and education for children that are set up by the government. An example of a setting in the statutory sector is Sure-start centres. These are children centres that provide help and support for both the child and the parent’s from the start of pregnancy until they child starts Primary school.
E2 – Sure-start centres are types of setting that aims to support both children and their families. For children they offer somewhere safe in which they can make friends and learn as they play, a chance to improve their English language if it is not their first language, but also the opportunity of services such as dentists, doctors and health services which are also offered to their family’s aswell. For parents that need extra help, they offer support by giving them access to parental classes and health classes. Also for those Parents of families out of work they support them in trying to find jobs through local jobcentres.
Voluntary clubs such as Brownies offers young girls to participate in a wide range of activities such as day trips, sleepovers, camps and holidays, arts and crafts, playing games and taking part in community action projects. The Guiding association aims to support the children in broadening their knowledge whilst having fun, and giving them an opportunity to socialise with others the same age as them.
'Guiding lets girls think, learn and develop without having to put up with boys trying to be the centre of attention all the time!', http://www.girlguiding.org.uk, 2011. This is what the guiding association means to Phillipa. Guiding clubs also provide the child’s parents to have time out from daily caring of the child which enables them to be able to catch up with other necessary tasks. It is also cheap for the parents
