CYP 3.3 the importance of children being protected from harm while in your setting

[jmima]

Need to resubmit 3.1 and 3.2 on Tuesday night Tutor feedback reads: "you have been able to explain in detail the importance of children being protected from harm while in your setting and in your care. You should have explained in more detail what those policies are, showing a wider understanding."

What I had written was:
The importance of protecting children from harm within the work setting should be obvious. For a start, parents leave their children in our care and trust us to ensure that are safe and well cared for. Failing to do so is not only unprofessional, but a gross breach of professionalism.

One step to ensure that children and young people are safe from harm is to ensure that every member of staff has undergone a Criminal Records Bureau check – from teachers and teaching assistants to cleaners and diner ladies. Everyone within the work setting has, theoretically, the opportunity to harm the children; therefore everyone needs to have undergone this check.

The equipment the children or young people have access to should be age appropriate and tasks should be stimulating. This will ensure that every child or young person within the work setting has an enjoyable time. As explained by Meggitt (p124, 2011, Meggitt): “Practitioners need to actively promote the wellbeing of every child. This includes providing opportunities to play, communicate and socialise with each other in the setting.”

Part of this responsibility is ensuring that no child is left behind. Some children may have development delays and need extra support, others may have additional learning needs; while others may be classed as ‘at risk’. These children and young people have an equal right to being protected from harm within their educational setting, and it is important for practitioners to keep on top of these things.

The for 3.2 I talk about the policies in my setting.

What am I missing?!?!?!?
