Reassuring to read how difficult everyone is finding this course. I have the same problem with knowing how much to write. I'm doing it online and I wouldn't recommend this method to anyone as the assessor seems to be a lot less supportive than those attached to college students. I always understand the content but the questions are so ambiguous it's as if it's intended to set us up to fail :( Why do assessors also seem to think that to explain the question in plain English is like helping us to cheat? Seriously, don't do this course online, unless you have a personal recommendation about the support you'll receive.

The assessed tasks for this unit started with, "Write a brief statement for each criteria...." Then continued with statements which start with words like, "explain" and "analyse", so never going to be 'brief'! Everyone raves about the Heinemann textbook and it is useful in translating what might be required from the headings. Better than a crystal ball anyhow!


I find this forum invaluable and the above pointers are such a help!

THANKS A MILLION SILKY STEPS!

Hi Raz, I'm thankfully on the last leg now, just have to hand in two pieces re: schools as organisations....I have to admit, I'm finding it boring and I'm struggling to get motivated with it, especially with having the Xmas break. Which online company are you doing your course with? My main tutor is excellent, but when he's been off, the others are dull and didn't go through the homework. I'm dreading how much it will cost to send off my portfolio, you'd think it would be freepost. If you need any help, pm me and I'll try and help if your struggling. That goes for anyone who needs it also... This site is amazing, I couldn't have done it without this site.....thank you all xxx good luck....

Thank you Chippyjo It doesn't sound as if you are with the same online company but I won't put mine here. My main worry is what happens if I can't finish before the deadline. Had 17 months after everything enrolled and on site. On average I'm finding, even with spending several hours a week on this, it's taking me about a month per unit. Sometimes a bit less but others like this one on Safeguarding a bit more. If I try to rush then I end up spending too much time backtracking to do extra work on feedback. If I do the work thoroughly and slowly I usually pass first time. But I don't actually have enough time to do a unit per month. Need to do about 18 or 19 units and I think the optional ones are harder as more independent? So not going to finish.

Hi Its so good to know others are struggling with this course. I too run my ow business and doing this at college but i find my tutor unhelpful at times and just wants blood!! and i have a daughter. Just not enough time in the day. I was wondering if you could give me ideas on explain the importance of safeguarding children and young people. Have given in an answer but tutor wants specifically on keeping children safe from accidents, crime and bullying, forced marriages, actively promoting their welfare in a healthy and safe environment.

Hi, a warm welcome to the site

To help get this into perspective can you ask your setting/placement for a copy of their safeguarding policy and any other publication that they have that states/promotes how they intend to safeguard/look after the children in their care? then you'll have in your hands how important they feel safeguarding is.

CYP Unit 3.3 outcome 2 criteria 2.1 Explain the importance of safeguarding children and young people

Page 115 of the Heinemann level 3 handbook on amazon.co.uk begins by saying 'Far too many children and young people suffer abuse or neglect at the hands of their parents or carers. Research shows the scale of this, and reports of children dying as a result of or accidents are all too often in the news. The statistics for the amount of abuse in the UK is worrying to say the least'

NSPCC keeping children safe and abuse statistics for 2014

There are regulations, acts, frameworks and codes of practice to research for this unit, some are newer than those listed in the 2010 level 3 handbook.

Wherever possible check with your course provider to see what documents you need to be reading.

Framework for the home nation that you work in will contain safeguarding and welfare requirements.

Recruiting suitable people and DBS (that replaced CRB) disclosing and barring service on gov.uk

Working together to safeguard children 2013 on gov.uk

UNCRC - the right to be free from harm and SEND 2014

Hth, best wishes

Thanks in advance
