Recap
what did we cover last week?

what does RIDDOR stand for ?

1. reporting of injuries, dangerous and diseases occurrences regulations
2. reporting of injuries, diseases and dangerous occurrences regulations
3. reporting occurrences injuries, diseases and of dangerous regulations
4. regulations of injuries diseases and dangerous occurrences reporting

RIDDOR

Deaths.

Specified injuries.

Occupational diseases.

Over-seven-day injuries.

Dangerous occurrences.

Accidents involving members of the public.

Gas emergencies.

Nurseries also have a duty to ensure that their practice adheres to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS); with sections 3.50 and 3.51 of the Framework setting out your responsibilities as an Early Years provider. Within this, it states that when an accident occurs, providers must keep a written record, have a first aid response in place, and inform parents or guardians as soon as possible. It also states that schools, nurseries and other childcare providers should also notify OFSTED of any serious accident, illness or injury to, or death of any child. You have 14 days to report the incident, and a delay could be considered a criminal offence.

link to the EYFS

Be prepared to feedback

The EYFS framework states that early years providers must promote good oral health of children who attend their setting.

Oral health is important, even with baby teeth. This is because children’s baby teeth: help them to bite and chew

support speech and language development

help them feel confident when they smile

make space for and help to guide adult teeth

Good oral health also keeps children free from toothache, infection and swollen gums.

Tooth decay

Children need to form good oral health habits from an early age to help avoid tooth decay. Tooth decay happens when sugars from food and drinks interact with bacteria in tooth plaque. This results in acid production, causing holes in teeth known as cavities.

If children have tooth decay, they may have yellow, brown or black marks on their teeth. They may also complain about their teeth hurting, particularly when eating or drinking.

Looking after children’s oral health

There are several key steps practitioners, parents and carers can take to promote good oral health in children.

Cutting down on free sugars

You should limit the amount of free sugars children eat or drink in your setting, as well as how often they consume them. This can help to avoid tooth decay. Free sugars include all sugar added to food and drinks by the manufacturer, cook or consumer. They are found in foods like: cakes, biscuits and chocolates processed foods - like some jarred sauces, jams and breakfast cereals some flavoured yoghurts

They are also found in natural products like: honey and syrups

fruit juices and purees smoothies .Free sugars are not found in: whole fruit and vegetables plain, unflavoured milk and yoghurt water

 

Water and milk are the only safe drinks to give children in regard to their oral health. Fruit juices and smoothies should not form part of a young child’s daily diet.

As well as limiting the amount of free sugars children eat or drink, you should also make sure that they only have food or

As well as limiting the amount of free sugars children eat or drink, you should also make sure that they only have food or drinks that contain sugar at mealtimes. This is because, the more often their teeth come into contact with sugar, the more likely they will be to get tooth decay. Children should avoid food and drinks containing free sugars before bedtime and overnight.

Drinking bottles and cups

What children drink from can impact their oral health.

You should only give babies bottles of breast milk, formula milk, or boiled water that has cooled down.

From 6 months old, you can offer babies drinks in open-top cups. These are cups with no lids, which spill if knocked over. These cups can help children develop their sipping skills. This strengthens their face muscles, which helps them to bite, chew and talk.

When introducing open-top cups, start with smaller cups or those with handles. These are easier for babies to grip. Offer a small amount of water at first, and gradually increase this over time.

• Fever or swollen lymph nodes
• Pus-filled bump or abscess on gums
• Loose or misaligned permanent teeth

5.4 Identify minor injury in babies and children

Activity

Create a document to support an Early years practitioner to identify minor injuries and babies and children 

Be prepared to share

5.5 Identify serious injury requiring urgent medical attention in babies and children

Activity

Create a document to support an Early years practitioner to  identify serious injury requiring urgent medical attention in babies and children

Be prepared to share

Choking, strangulation, suffocation, falls, poisoning, burns and scalds, drowning,  swallowing objects for example lithium batteries, climbing .........

Consider different activities and the risk around them. For example water play and drowning, sand play - might get sand in the eye

What is the role of the practitioner ?

• know how to spot risk
• know the risk around the child's age and stage of development

• know how to deal with minor or serious injuries
• staying calm
• report it - HSE and ofsted (incidents and accidents)
• maintaining accurate and coherent records and reports
• maintain confidentiality
