1.1 Describe and explain the duties and responsibilities of your own work role.

My duties starts in the morning when I have to welcome the children and start to get involved in their activities, which vary depending on which child age I am asked to supervise. I assist other members of staff to support the children in their personal development in different ways: setting some interesting activities for them, support their routine. I give them along side my mentor the opportunity to learn things in their ways, without teaching them, but supervise them in their learning.
I am responsible for the childrens hygiene and to keep them healthy, to respect the safety rules and to prevent and avoid the dangerous situations.
I will learn to make observations of the child achievements and the stages of development, which I will share with parents and carers.
I will be trained to give first aid treatment if necessarily. And complete relevant paperwork, carry out risk assessments for different situations report any incidents or accidents and any medication which is given during my working hours.

1.3 Describe ways to ensure that my personal attitudes or beliefs do not obstruct the quality of my work.
My attitudes and beliefs are from different sources which include my own life experiences, my childhood and the attitudes of people close to me. Everyone is allowed their own opinion but it is also important to ensure that my opinions have not got a negative impact on my work. It is good for me to listen to other peoples points of view it helps me see things from a different angle.
It is good to take into account other peoples ways of doing tasks, as long as the outcome is the same it shouldn’t need to become an issue. If you want to work in a team it is important not to be confrontational or challenge peoples opinions, this could cause friction leading to ineffective working conditions.
