CYP 3.4 Support children and young people's health and safety.
1.1 Describe the factors to take into account when planning healthy and safe indoor and outdoor environments and services.
When planning activities there are many factors we have to take into account to ensure that the objectives of those activities are healthy and safe to achieve. In my setting, we carry out a risk assessment by checking and ensuring that the environment where the activity will be carried out is clean and tidy, there is good room temperature and ventilation, there is enough space for the pupils, and that the environment and activity is appropriate to their age and also to their individual needs, for example, if there is any child on a wheelchair we adapt every activity to include that child making sure he/she has enough space to move around the room, access to all the areas in it and can reach anything easily. If there is anyone that is visually impaired, we use adequate lighting in the room and take the necessary measures to help that child and every individual pupil to complete the activity healthily and safely. Apart from that, we also ensure that there is an appropriate staff/ child ratio in each activity, that the equipment is not damaged and it is safe to use, and that we have the necessary resources and right protective clothing if for the activity or for the weather conditions if the activity is carried out outdoors. We also consider and make others aware of any short term/long term medical conditions that pupils may have, such as, allergies, asthma or/and any child's requirements, to be able to fit everyone in the activity in a healthy and safe way. In my school we are aware of every hazard that could put anyone at risk of harm and ensure that everyone working within the school knows the procedures to follow so that the risks are controlled and that the right actions are taken in case of an accident or emergency. 1.2 Explain how health and safety is monitored and maintained and how people in the work setting are made aware of risks
