How can support care adapt to meet the needs of a child or young person in planned and emergency situations?

I'm not sure how to go about this one? Can anyone give me any pointers?


Evaluate how the support care they offer meets the needs of a child or young person and could be adapted for both planned and emergency situations.

Hi, a warm welcome to silkysteps xx

it'll help if you can research support care, know what your placement agreements look like - what information, guidance they contain and what an emergency might mean in your particular position.

2.3 Evaluate how the support care they offer meets the needs of a child or young person and could be adapted for both planned and emergency situations.

They offer refers back to cypop 42's 2.1 where you ' Demonstrated and explained how to build positive relationships with the vulnerable child or young person taking into account their age, needs, abilities, culture, religious and ethnic background

and also

2.2 where you 'Explained, giving examples from own practice,

• how placement agreements are reached and typical content of an agreement
• the types of tasks and activities to be undertaken with the child or young person and the reason for the selection

You'll be looking to see how your planned provision ie. what you already do and prepare ahead of time for can adapt to ensure you'e able to offer continuity of care in times of emergency.
