I have been asked as part of a task sheet from my assessor to..
"complete a detailed assessment of a child's development in the following areas...physical, communication, intellectual/cognitive, social, emotional and behavioural and moral "
However, as a setting, if we have concerns regarding any of the above, we voice our concerns to the professionals who deal with each of the areas and make a referral for them to undertake the assessment. With the exception of Communication, as I am our setting's Speech and Language Co-ordinator (as well as childcare assistant) and I carry out BRISC assessments and then make referrals to the SALT team but as far as any of the others, like making physical assessments, we have no internal resources to be able to do it.
I thought about doing a small assessment on a child I work with on a one to one basis every week using the Foundation Phase wheel (as I am in Wales) but this is only used in schools and I have recently discovered it is being phased out.
Therefore, I would gratefully accept any help regarding resources that I can use that are relevant in Wales and that I can use for this Unit.
Many thanks
