Hi All,
I am doing unit DHC Unit 2, please could you give me some advice on what I have done so far?
Question E2: Describe the role of the practitioner in meeting the individual needs of all children.
I have spoken of how we need to provide individual children with everything they need to develop, learn, stay safe, be happy and healthy. that the practitioner should treat children in their care as unique individuals, treat each individual with respect and dignity, and take their rights into consideration.
Speak to the parents to find out what the childs needs are etc.
Question D: Explain how to implement children’s rights in the home-based setting.
The practitioner would also have to consider if they have suitable equipment. This would depend on the number, age size ability and level of development of the individual child. Such as: cots for children under two, and junior beds for children over two with a quite secure place to sleep in. A disabled child would need suitable access into the property and would require room for a wheelchair to manoeuvre. The practitioner may not need to by expensive toys and equipment for a disabled child but could perhaps adapt them in a way that the disabled child could use them, appropriate to their age and ability.
The practitioner could encourage children to make their own choices such as: They could make up their own house rules. They could be written rules for children aged six to sixteen and pictures for children aged two to five. This would encourage them to think about other children in the setting, what effect their behaviour would have on other individuals and what the consequences of their actions are. etc etc
