Balancing duty of care with rights and responsibilities.
While duty of care is important in work with children, there are times when this principle seems to conflict with another principle, that of respecting the rights of children and families. A balanced approach has to be taken in deciding which has the greater priority in certain circumstances.
When you exercise a duty of care you have to be sensitive to which in which intervening in the lives of children and their families could bring you into conflict with their rights and responsibilities. You must balance your duty and desire to keep children safe with avoiding situations where it can infringe their rights and responsibilities by you intruding into their lives.
RISK TAKING;
For A child to develop the skills to predict and avoid dangerous situations there must be an element of challenge and risk taking in play. If we become over the top about predicting possible hazards and don’t allow the child to risk assess, we are taking our duty of care too far
Sometimes right take precedence over duty of care We should watch from a distance to allow a child to develop the skills to predict and avoid dangerous situations in play as they have a right to acquire these life skills.
CONFIDENTIALITY;
While we must ensure that all children’s information is kept confidential only sharing the info with the parents. Conflicts may arise in the safeguarding context; a child’s welfare is the most important thing in your setting. There are times when info must be shared with other professionals without consent of the parent if a family member is suspected of being the abuser.
Duty of care may come first over duty of care while families have the right to have their private info treated confidentiality; a child’s welfare is the most important thing in your setting.
