Mrs Pye
CYPOP 5 – Assessment task 1
The parents of Anjum a little girl who is in your new setting moved to England only 3 months ago. Yours is the first setting that they have used for 18 month old Anjum, They have very little understanding of the legislation covering home based childcare or role of the regulatory body.
Consider 4 pieces of legislation that are important for home based child carers and how you would outline these to Anjums parents.
How would you go about outlining the 4 different roles of the regulatory body to Anjums parents?
As a home based child-minder I would like to provide a place where children are able to enjoy learning and grow with confidence. With that I would inform Anjums parents of the four pieces of legislation that are important to home based child carers. These are as follows:
The Children act 1980 + 2004
Childcare act (2006)
The protection of children act (1998)
The race relation act (1976 amended 2000)
The Children act 1989 was intended to strengthen a child’s legal position, to give him or her equal rights, feelings and wishes, to also ensure the child is consulted and kept informed. It aims to ensure the child’s welfare is of top importance, and a good working partnership is in place between the parents and the carer, to protect the child from any harm. It was the first acknowledgement in the UK law of children’s rights, encapsulated by the phrase “The needs of the child are paramount”.
In 2004 the Children act was strengthened and arose from the green paper “Every child matters” This identifies 5 outcomes for ALL Children.
Be Healthy
Stay safe
Enjoy and achieve
Make a positive contribution
Achieve economic well-being
With these in place the child will be happy.
Childcare act 2006
This act is aimed at all carers with children under and up to the age of 5 to register on the “Early years” register and deliver the Early year’s foundation stage. (EYFS) Children above the age of 5 should be in a setting
