Potential dilemma 1 - If a child in the setting is using their own language, religion and customs due to wishes of parents/family.
Why is this a dilemma? This is a dilemma as the practitioners at the setting my not be able to understand the child, this means they will struggle to teach the child and help them develop. If the parent does not want the child to learn English it may be a problem, most of the school/setting will be speaking English. The parent may feel they are not focussing enough on this certain child's religion and also, since the child is using their own customs they may find some of ours offensive.
The difficulty between my duty of care and the rights of the child - A practitioner would have a duty of care to educate the child and help them develop. The child has a right to use their own language, religion and customs of family or group, this means the practitioner could not stop the child from getting an education because of their language, religion and customs, they have a right to this. Also, linking to this, the child has a right to an education, meaning you would have to provide this to the child under any circumstances.
How would I deal with this situation? First of all, I would try to compromise with the parent, that the child could possibly speak English in the setting and speak their own language at home. Explain to the parent this may affect their holistic development and exactly what it will affect and how.This may be too big of a compromise, so if not I would look into getting a translator into the setting to help the child develop and learn.
What could be the risks for the child? The risk here for the child is that they may not develop fully. This would be their holistic development as they will not be able to understand the practitioner when they are explaining activities and work. They will not be socialising and they may get frustrated and feel alone in the setting.
