Session 8

Learning objectives

By the end of the session all learners will:

Research and collate information regarding serious case reviews. 

Complete a indoor and outdoor risk assessment.

Write a response to the case studies to obtain a WT for each. (practical evidence link to unit 5)

Checklist of evidence required

2 x risk assessments (indoor / outdoor) all boxes must be completed. 

1 x response to responding to an emergency using the case study.

1 x WT signed and completed by your tutor for responding to the emergency case

study.

1 x response to responding to an accident using the case study.

1 x WT signed and completed by your tutor for responding to the accident case

study.

1 x WT from your placement supervisor clearly explaining you have discussed

the procedure for fire evacuation.

Practical evidence from placement

As part of your unit 5 assignment practical evidence, in placement you will need to have a discussion with your supervisor/ room leader or class teacher about:

"How they would respond to a fire evacuation in line with their policies and procedures." 

You will then need to ask them to complete a WT to confirm this. 

Serious Case reviews Research

On your tables work together to complete a collaborative google slides on the following three serious case reviews. 

* What happened in this case review?

* Could this have been prevented?

Case 1 - Sharon Glass and Michael Marshall 

Case 2 - Baby Peter Conelly (Baby P)

Case 3 - Baby T case 

Risk Assessment

• 1 x indoor risk assessment (10 risks min)
  
• 1 x outdoor risk assessment (10 risks min)
  

This needs to be typed, detailed and well presented.

Let me show you an example.

How to write a response

Points to include in your response.

• Your response to the case study and why, this means acknowledging the problem.
  
• Clearly assess the role of the early years practitioner by explaining the procedures you will need to follow.
  
• Why do you need to follow the procedures of the policies in your setting.
  
• Clearly explain a link to a relevant legislation.
  
• What are the implications of not following the correct procedure
  
• Justify your response to each of the case study !
• Each response needs to be 1 page long with a minimum of 3 references.

Emergency Situation

You are working in a Early Years setting, your base room caters for a small group of children aged between 2-4 years old.

The fire alarm is sounded, and your manager informs you to

follow the evacuation procedure to ensure the children in your

care exit the building safely.

Lets mind map, information you will need to consider.

Accident Situation

You are an Early Years Educator playing a game of chase with a group of children in the settings garden. Child A, trips

over and loses his balance as he is running too fast. Bobby starts crying and is holding his left knee saying that it hurts.

Lets mind map things to consider in relation to your response.

Obtaining a WT from tutor

Once you have completed a detailed response, I will provide you a WT for each response.

You will then need to keep this safe as you will need to hand this in with your written assignment and other practical evidence. 

Managing your work load

Next week I am setting your assignment for unit 5.

You will have only 2 weeks to complete the practical evidence discussed today and your written assignment. 

It is important you start to complete your practical evidence now to prevent you from becoming over whelmed next week.
