Sport & Active Leisure Unit 10

Risk assessments will be completed on initial planning to include accidents that may happen, people taking ill, people losing sense of direction in large crowds and reviewing care plans that

Within my role I have to compile risk assessments that recognise the choice and independence of residents, whilst ensuring the safety of residents and staff members. The risk assessment may be regarding social activities that may involve equipment or actions, which could cause harm or injury.

Once a risk assessment has been carried out, and the hazards have been identified, then a method statement can be developed which takes account of the identified hazards. The method statement should be read and understood by all members of staff and volunteers who are directly involved with supervising the children with that activity.

8. Evaluate different approaches to managing risk during children and young peoples play. An approach to managing risk could be to talk to those children involved with e.g. play fighting and if they got too carried away I would stop them from playing together. Another approach would be to provide crash mats if children are playing on an indoor climbing frame, I would place them underneath to steady their fall so they don’t injure themselves too badly.

High school sport injuries have become such a common incident. Precautions are not taken as

2. Explain how and when to report potential health and safety risks that have been identified

As a level 3 practitioner it is important to take a balanced approach to risk management so that children are able to learn and develop. Practitioners need to be aware of the risks, however “if the activity is well planned and organised, with thought given to possible risks, the likelihood of an accident or injury should be minimal” (Tassoni et al, 2010, p144). Practitioners working with children have a duty of care towards the children and must make sure that they are safe at all times. They should plan the play environment and activity which is safe for the child, but there also needs to be a balance between the risks a child is able take. Children should be allowed to take risk they think they are able to achieve with adult support but not too much intervention, If they are not allowed to take risk they will not be able to develop the skills required to deal with risks and make judgement about their own strengths and skills which may affect their development, self-esteem and confidence. Avoiding risks and challenges may result in a very timid adult lacking in every day skills and abilities. Children can take risks in all different areas by following the seven areas of development which was introduced by the foundation phase, these areas are as follow:-

P1 – Explain potential hazards and the harm that may arise from each in a health and social care setting.

Children and young people can be made aware of risks and hazards through the delivering of safety education including the PSHE (personal, social and health education) curriculum.

The Sport Education model does not have a lot of disadvantages, especially when implemented with second year University students. When applied to Year 9 or 10 students, there are a few

Activity 3: Regularly provide and clearly explain to the work team, information about identified hazards and the outcomes of risk assessment and control

One point was about why emergency plans are needed in the world of athletics. The second point was about emergency plan components. The third point was about the emergency plan being implemented. The main ideas were reviewed, the next topic will be about if any changes need to be made to the article or not.

In the United State roughly about 45 billion kids from 6 to 16 are involved in a competitive sport. There is currently a debate about whether or not kids should participate in competitive sports. Some people say it’s a great way to teach kids teamwork and other skills. Others say it’s too much a risk of injury. Kids should not be allowed to do competitive sports because they can be seriously injured and The price of kids playing sports is becoming unreasonably high and parents can’t keep up.

There are five factors that can help us prevent unintentional injuries or at least minimize their impact. These are awareness and knowledge on the risks to safety, skill in judging own and other’s abilities when it comes to playing or performing in a given space,

ome parents may not want their kids to be involved in sports because they can get injured. In teenage sports, a large amount of athletes don’t have the skills needed to play the sport successfully and safely, which cause injuries. When a child is at age 5, they have not yet gained the energy or social skills that are needed in order to safely participate in a team sport. If a child does participate at that age in a sport, it endangers the child and the others playing. As a result, it is suggested to wait until a child is eight to twelve to be involved in sports. (Beim). This way they can be safer and get benefits from participating in sports. The coaches are to make sure that athlete has the skills needed to participate safely in that sport. When safety measures are
