[KerryJSullie]

Hi sorry I am back, Nearly finished this unit but need to cover a few Knowledge questions can anyone help please.

K4P775 Legislation covering children's rights and laws covering equality and inclusion within your home country. how these are interpreted and implemented in your local area and within your setting or services.

and

KAD783 What barriers to participation and difficulties in accessing provision and services might be, eg language, mobility: lack of information about services, apprehension about how children will fare using services and how you would use policies and procedures to ensure these were recognised and addressed.

This unit is driving me mad now and I just want it done, please help!!!!!!!

Lack of informion about setting in area.

Meeting children’s needs in the setting ref inclusion policy, how you meet all childrens needs.

Apprehension of staff regarding children
There are 2 ways of looking at disability:
The medical model- this views disability as a problem, it is seen as irreversible and ensures the child won’t be able to take part in the groups activities, it looks at the disability not the child.
The social model – this views disability as not a problem, we just adapt what we do to help the child take part.

Thanks for that, I have already writen about the acts and how they relate to our policies and procedures, but my assessor said that was not enough to cover the first statement. I am not quite sure what else to write. Thanks for the second bit though that does help.
