K4H799 Key factors and influences on children's health and safety
 

hi, im really stuck on the question- K4H799 Key factors and influences on children's health and safety, covering social, environmental, cultural, ethnic, gender, language and communication, abilities and disabilities, stage of development. any ideas????? thanks

Key factors on children's health and safety:
Social/cultural/ethnic factors - eg sickle cell anaemia is a disease that can ONLY be found in afro carribean children, different cultures have different rituals such as muslims facing MECCA five times a day to pray...could you provide this safely at your nursery or school - how would you accommodate children wishing to do this in a room?
Gender - think of health and safety issues...do the same for
Language and communication
Disabilities - eg health and safety with regard to having a child in a wheelchair at your nursery - how would you provide?
Stage of development - babies....what health and safety factors do you take into account, what about 8 year olds?

hope this helps
