Cyp Core 3.4 Support Children and Young Peoples Health and Safety
Task 1 There are many factors you should take into account when planning healthy and safe indoor and outdoor environments. Look at the pictures below, and then complete the boxes in the grid to explain how you might need to adapt them in order to take the list of factors into account.
Factor | Indoor environment | Outdoor environment | Age and ability of the children | * Age appropriate chairs and height of table. For example in year 3 the chairs and height of table are different of that to a year 6 classroom. * SEN are given the correct equipment to aid them | * Age-appropriate equipment for example soft ball for foundation stage playground and normal football for the KS3 children * Foundation stage children have separate play grounds. * Check safety requirements and whether it is developmentally suitable for them. | Individual needs of the children | * Making sure the safety of the children is met. * SEN children require individual one to one support at times. * The correct equipment is available. | * The outside boundaries need to be secure. * Check if playground is safe from litter, broken glass and animal droppings. * The toys and equipment is equally shared out. | Sensory impairments | * Good lighting * Ensure learners have the correct amount of natural light and any enhanced lighting needed for any specific activity. * If a child requires a hearing aid. | * In serious cases an adult could assist the child in outdoor activities. * Separate equipment that helps them to recognise it. * Floor markings that helps them see for example faded out markings should be repainted. It could be a game of hopscotch. | Needs of families and carers | * If there’s a language barrier the school could provide an interpreter that could help them. * Creating awareness by giving them visitor badges. | * Any school visitors are asked to sign in and out in case of a fire. * Children have different exits so it’s easier
