For example one setting we use has a pirate boat outside and it has no hand rail around the top, so a note was put on the side to say that children under two could not play on the ship, they also put wood chip around the ship to make it safer for children to play on. Polices and procedure have to be followed and studied as this encourages us to work safely, with in my setting we also have meeting every month or so so we can raise concerns or be told about updates on policy. other this that are crucial in updating polices and procedures are accident reports if when checked different children have accidents on the same equipment, we can remove or stop children using it till it can be fix or made safe.

Staff ratio must be checked again the register comes in handy for this we can check the ages of the children and see how may we have so then we can make sure there are enough staff. Procedure on cleaning up spills and body fluids, should be acted on quickly as to prevent accidents and cross contamination. There should always be full copies of polices and procedures on the premisses in our case we have them in all our centres and we have access to them on the council website so we can be kept

Children need to take risks to build confidence and problem solving skills. When assessing this you need to take the age needs and abilities of the child. Think about whether the risk is too great for the child you would not let a very young child climb a piece of equipment so hight you could not reach them.

Support children and young people's health and safety.
Frequently you will come across the dilemma between the rights of children ad young people and health and safety requirements. This may happen when a child wants to play on a large piece of equipment but we know it is dangerous for example I was talking about a pirate ship and some of the smaller children want to play n it but we have been told no one under two years can play on it. We have to respect the polices of that setting. I personally think we can supervise so they can be safe ad still play but the polices say no. we allow the children to play out side with bikes and balls but not on the pirate ship, we have to explain to the children they can play on it because it dangerous! Sometimes it can be parents that ask for their child not to play on something and again we have to respect the parents wishes.
