Raising the awareness of healthy choices - doughnut or apple, cigarette or knowledge of why & how to say no
Dilema and contention in wanting to keep children safe yet listen to what children express as an interest or choice

Duty of care actions pages 107, 108 and 109 - collins level 3 handbook and principles of safeguarding

• Recognise and meet physical, emotional and psychological needs
• Anticipate danger and manage risks
• Intervene and support in the event of illness and injury
• Be alert to the potential exploitation, abuse and neglect
• Provide guidance and supervision of play and activity
• Uphold and value rights: uncrc, treat equally as individuals, protect from discrimination, communicate with others in support of their best interests - where conflict can exist ie. do you share information with others that could result in the child being safe and remain healthy, or, although you know what a child is doing/planninig to do you do not feel it's concerning enough to share. Do you feel that if you spoke to others it would breach a confidentiality where a child had valued your relationship enough to tell you about their plans/interests/wishes and yet you know it will place them in a position of risk, abuse, vulnerability.
