1. Describe the factors to take into account when planning healthy and safe indoor and outdoor environments and services
In my setting these are the factors to take into account when planning healthy and safe indoor and outdoor environments and services: • The individual's needs, age and abilities of the children and young people
• Specific risks to individuals such as Autism, staff-pregnancy, sensory impairments • The function and purpose of environments and services offered • The duty of care • Desired outcomes for the children and young people • Lines of responsibility and accountability. In my setting every activity has to be planned: This means that I plan for the unexpected or unusual to happen. So my foremost plan is to be alert. Therefore, I am alert when planning an activity; making sure the location or setting of what I plan to do with the Children is the right environment for the activity for example if I was using bikes and scooters in the play area outside. Before allowing the children to play outside I would carry out a garden check, I would make sure sure the main gate to the setting was locked and that all other fences and gates were secure, I would clean away any rubbish/ animal feaces, I would also ensure that the equipment; i.e bikes and scooters are in safe and good working condition. During a garden check I check that the plants are not of a danger to anyone, for example, nettles. Once outside I would ensure the bikes and scooters are used in the proper manner and with plenty of space so in my setting we would not use them indoors as there is not enough space they would be used outside. I am aware that a varied environment supports Children and Young people’s learning and development, it gives them confidence to explore and learn in safe and secure yet challenging indoor or outdoor space. In my setting risk assessments are carried out for all activities and regular checks are carried out around the
