The individual care setting may also bring in policies and procedures that go further than the legal requirement if they feel the need to. The premises in which children and young people will be cared for must be fit for purpose, the equipment and toys must be safe and the building should be secure, including areas that are used by young people and staff located outdoors.…

    There are several ways to show the correlations between health, safety and nutrition. For example, children who abide by their parents rules and get the proper nutrition are less likely to fall ill or even have a broken bone. Getting all the daily recommended value of vitamins and minerals helps to build a strong immune system and strong bones in children. Therefore, the child is safe from viruses or injury. The best interests of a child are always on the mind of parents and teachers alike. Children are our future so it is natural to want to make the best decision for them until they reach the time where the responsibility can be handed over. Although it may be hard to allow children independence, we need to be confident in our ability to show through example. Teaching safety, nutrition and health, and how they are all dependent on each other. This will help build the foundation for these children to grow into happy, healthy, and confident adults (Marotz, 2009). Health, safety and nutrition need to be a consistent part of each child’s life every day. All of these elements lead a child to live a good life. “A child growing up in a loving family in which a healthy diet, safe environment, and opportunities for learning and recreation are provided is more likely to experience good health” (Marotz, 2009). Health is a large category, it focuses on the child’s overall well- being. Health has many sub categories and branches off to meet their physical, cognitive, social and emotional development requirements.…

    1.1 There are many factors that have to be taken into account when planning healthy and safe indoor and outdoor environments and services. It is essential to start the planning thinking about the childs needs. The age and development of their children must also be taken into account. If babies are being looked after they will need to be cared for in a a warmer room than 5year olds. Babies would need nappy changing facilities and some cots. Outdoor areas would need to be planned to suit an older child’s needs with regards to If children have a disability or a sensory impairment they should still be able to have full access to the available activites. This may mean sometimes that the layout of the environment or the equipment may need adapting to suit the childs needs. The needs of Parents/carers should also be recognised. If there is an illness going around the setting which may affect a family member of the child there should be a notice put up to inform everybody of this. If there is a case of headlice a letter should be sent out so parents/carers can maintain their family’s health. There are not many settings that are purpose built for childcare, there are many playgroups and crèche services that share their premises with other organisations. Planning should take into account the way in which the setting should function as a safe, healthy environment for children and young people. When planning the main thing to plan for is children and young peoples health and safety. Practitioners who work with children have a duty of care towards them. Within a setting all people have a responsibility for the health and safety of children and young people. So all staff members know to whom report and be accountable for a ‘line of responsibilty’ should be made clear to everybody within the…
