Staff must make sure they have carried out a risk assessment and checked out ways to overcome any issues or hazards which could occur for the children. Transport the children will be using, and the driver should be adequately insured.
In placement and my role:
Making sure that all parents and carers are aware of where the child is going and what they will be doing on the outing, also making sure the parents and carers have given the child full permission to go out on the outing. If the children need any medical needs like epi-pens, asthma pumps or medication, they will need to make sure that there is someone qualified to assist the children with any medical needs. This is achieved by making sure they have enough members of staff at all times throughout the outing like for when they may need to split up or if a child becomes injured that there will be enough members for two to go with the child. Also make sure they have carried out a risk assessment and found ways to overcome those risks. My role would be to help make sure that all the children are safe and doing what they are meant to be doing at all times.

    Most schools now have written policies and parts of their mission statements specifically made for the inclusion and equality of SEN children. They must be in written form and should also be posted on the website for access to all who require it. There should also be policies which show the rights and responsibilities of those within the environment. The policies may be a number of separate ones or combined in one policy covering all the relevant areas. The policies should show how the school relates to the main policies affecting the special educational needs. These include:-…

    To arrange and prepare a visit to a local park with Nursery children is not as straight forward as it may sound. There are policies, guidelines and agreed principles to follow throughout the nursery in order to ensure the safety of the children but with careful planning, functional communication with other staff members/volunteers combined with co-operative working will be a good team work effort, so all children will have the maximum opportunity to experience and explore the new environment, to socialize and have fun and this would be done as followed;…

    At our setting for example, if it was to be decided that our outdoor activity for the day was to be driving the push along cars and the push bikes. First of all someone would go and check that there are no obstacles such as debris and other play equipment in the area to be used in order to prevent any risk of accidents, also to check that the cars and bikes are in good working order and are safe for the children to use. These risk assessments are carried out on a daily basis for the safety of the children in our care. Our outside play area is enclosed with a wooden wall fence with a single 2meter gate to access it, which is always kept closed whether the children are in the play area or not. With this safely enclosed outside area the children are free to explore and play. Once we are ready to go out, the register is put into our first aid bag and taken outdoors with us. We take our register with us in case there was a fire then we can be sure of the attendance of children in our care on that particular day. The first aid bag is handy for any accidents that can be dealt with on site. When the children are outside, the ones that need assistance are helped into the cars or on bikes, or shown how to operate the equipment taking into account that every child is an individual with their own needs. Some children could be at the potty training stage or be using the toilet, so it is important that the toilets are checked for cleanliness and…

    I have a duty of care to ensure that all children under my care and assistants who work alongside me are kept safe from harm. This means I must carry out risk assessments to ensure that their environment is a safe and clean space for them to explore, work and play in. I also teach the children the dangers some of their actions can have on themselves and others and actively encourage both children and assistants I work with to report any dangers they may find in the setting, such as broken toys. I also have a duty of care to safeguard children in recording any unexplained marks or bruising which may give cause for concern and reporting these concerns to Somerset’s Safeguarding Children’s Board if reasonable explanation is not given or I deem it necessary. I also record any accidents or incidents that occur whilst the children are under my care and inform the children’s families of the medical assistance I may have given. Following these accidents/incidents I review how the accident/incident could’ve been prevented and address these issues appropriately in my risk assessments and my continual reflective diary.…

    This would be a good place to visit as some of the children have never been but there are concerns about health and safety and the risk of being in a big open space but to minimise the risk a risk assessment will be done. This will identify the hazards and the control measures to reduce the risk. You would discuss this as a year group to ensure that all staff understand their roles on the trip. A letter will be sent home with the children in your year group to get parental consent if the school doesn’t have a parent signature the child will not be allowed to go on the trip. This letter also has all the information the parents will need to know like places they will be visiting e.g. a museum, butterfly gardens.…

    When children are under the supervision of adults the children then become the adults responsibility. If a child happens to get lost the adult would then be held responsible. The dangers of a child getting lost could mean they may have been abducted, could of got a seriously or minor injury. As the trip will have a lot of things to look at, a child may get easily distracted from what is around them or could easily walk off to another attraction. If a child was to walk off and was to notice they were alone they could panic and would not have the ability to recognise what to do or who to ask for help. D1; There are ways to prevent a child getting lost, as a large group of children will be attending the trip it would be appropriate to put them in to groups with a ratio such as there are 22 children and 7 adults this would equate to 3 children to 1 adult (3; 1) this will help keep the children under control and having fewer faces in a group will help them recognise better who apart of their group. Another way to prevent it would be making sure the children come in uniform this will be easier for the staff and children to recognise who is apart off their nursery. Children should be reminded not to wander of and to stay wear an adult can supervise them. If a child was to get lost they could carry a card or wear a wristband that could contain details about the nursery and emergency contact…

    successful inclusion of students with disabilities by general education teachers is the acquisition of certain knowledge and understanding about the needs of different learners, teaching techniques and curriculum strategies, and other components that prepare the special education students as well as the general education students to excel. This challenge can be alleviated by ensuring that general education teachers receive scheduled group sessions that allow them to share experiences, ask advice of experienced special education teachers or specialists, and gain skills and understanding. Hence without the proper professional development for general education teachers, the goals of the IDEIA cannot be met and the special education students would…
