assignment 026 (lv3 dip)
 

Hi everyone this is my first time on here but has helped me so much already
Im nearly there wiv my assignment but am stuck on 1 question would like to finish it tonight as well really.

F4. Explain why it is important to work with a child or young people to ensure they develop strategies to protect themselves and to make decisions about safety.

Would really appreciate your help
Thanks xxx:dizzy:

Making decisions about safety is wide ranging, safeguarding in general covers a huge amount of eventualities and possibilities, within that generality child protection operates .. eg. from choosing to cross a road when busy or quiet, where to cross and how, jumping from the last balancing stone with or without assistance/support, using hammers with care to children having ways that enable them to remove themselves from abusive or harmful situations.

Saying stop, saying I'd rather not, tell someone, safety awareness - eg. sun & dental care

The importance is that children have a right to thier life, to be safe, protected from harm, to express themselves, be part of their country through nationality and have access to information that ensures their well-being
