What barriers to participation might be e.g. attitudes, language, mobility; lack of information/knowledge of the benefits of children’s services, environmental barriers, discrimination and how you would ensure these were recognised and removed.

i have been looking at this question for ages, the stupid thing is i swear i have covered it in another question

I need some guidance:dizzy:

i gave examples like - a wheel chair user-- how would you make the setting accessible before the child comes into the setting, eg- ramps, lifts??

i also put speech difficulties or a child who only communicates through sign language/makaton-- i said make sure that staff are aware of the situation, that there is at least one member of staff who can communicate with the child, around the classroom you could put up the signs the child is using.

hope this helps
