The sooner any issues or concerns are raised the sooner the child or young person can be monitored and help or assistance given.

8. The role of early intervention models in improving children and young people’s outcomes and life chances (Ref. 1.2, 3.2, 3.3)

If we try our best to ensure that the child has a happy time at our setting, it helps their confidence and self-esteem. They will want to take part and socialise. They enjoy what they are doing when they come to us and want to take part in what we offer for them. As they grow up they will want to go to school and have a good education and then go on to get a good job and have a good quality of life.

Overall making sure every child is included and their special or different needs are taken into consideration will overall benefit the child educationally and socially.

CYP 3.1 – 3.4 Explain how different types of interventions can promote positive outcomes for children and young people where development is not following the expected pattern.

If the child has a safe and secure home life then they tend too do a lot better at school and out of the home life as well.

| Good way of seeing where the child is with their development – do they need encouragement in a certain area?

Occupational Therapist – Works with people with disabilities to achieve as much independence as possible. They assess the need for any equipment e.g. Wheelchairs, and walking aids. The OT at school monitors and assesses the needs of individual pupils. They provide equipment and advise on activities. One pupil was having postural problems and the OT provided a moulded cushion for his use which greatly improved his posture.

The Statutory Guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) shows that child protection is part of the welfare and safeguarding requirements. It is supported by the positive outcomes of Every Child Matters and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) that places a duty of care onto childcare practitioners and their managers to safeguard children and young people and promote their welfare.

There are different intervention groups and work in order to support pupils who are not progressing at the same rate. This will be advised by senco or other professionals who have links with the school.

Working together to safeguard children 2006 sets out how organisations and individuals should work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people in accordance with the Children’s Act 1989 and the Children’s Act 2004. It is important that all practitioners within settings and environments looking and caring after children and young people must know their responsibilities and duties in order to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people, following their legislations, policies and procedures.

During many years the role of school nurse was traditionally viewed as one where the nurse cared for students that were injured, applied bandages and gave out ice bags. Throughout the years the role of the school nurse has evolved into one of leadership and management along with many other duties including traditional roles as mentioned above. The services provided by a school nurse range from assessment and screening to coordinating care for regular students as well as students with special needs. School nursing requires experience and knowledge in school, public, community and emergency health to meet the many needs of school aged children and youth. The school nurse provides many services but the basic services provided include

There are many things our school nurse Ms. Ellen does. She protects and promotes the health of students. She assesses physical, emotional, mental and social health needs of students. She dresses small wounds and administer medicine to students with pain or headache. The students come away from home to school under the care of faculties. If the school did not have nurse on site, then it would have been inconvenient for both students and parents. The students would not be able to focus on their studies and the parents would not be available to pick them up from school since most of them work.

Being in a position to do the assignment on his/her own without the help of the parent is a benefit because it avoids dependency. It also builds confidence, and self-esteem in the life of the child since they’ll be getting used to handling things on their own without relying on someone else or the help of their parents.
