Reflecting on the scenario in which I was able to witness a case with the young boy in a wheelchair, I was able to see an act of inclusion firsthand, and appreciate how important it might be for a young boy his age to indeed feel included. At the same time I realize this was very important to his mental health, I couldn’t help but also be concern about his safety around those activities that are so crucial to his development. The textbook reads “Regardless how many children are in the setting and how long, the first priority is to provide for their health and safety”…Therefore programs for children must establish policies that provide for the protection, service and education of child health and safety at all times. (Gordon and Browne, 344).
It emphasises the important principles to be followed when working with children and young people: settings must provide a safe and secure environment, if any children are identified as suffering from abuse or likely to suffer the appropriate action must be taken.
Barriers and challenges to disabled children and young people’s participation sit within three broad areas: training, support and resources; knowledge, understanding and attitudes; process, systems and structures. Identifying and recognizing the barriers and challenges provides a good basis for planning to further disabled children’s participation.
If we protect children from harm they are more likely to grow up into confident members of society. Children with a disability are three times more likely to experience abuse and neglect and it’s up to us as practitioners to recognise the signs and symptoms to protect all children.
Practitioners have to put the needs of children first because this will help keep children safe and encourages children to be independent. It’s important to show
All organisations and people that work with, or come into contact with children should have safeguarding policies and procedures to ensure that every child, regardless of their age, gender, religion or ethnicity, can be protected from harm. This includes hospitals, schools, private sector providers, sports clubs, faith groups and voluntary/community organisations.
The Safeguarding Adults Board asked Margaret Flynn to say what should be done to make sure that patients aren’t hurt like this again. She said that the best place to care for people with learning disabilities and autism is in their homes and communities where they are known. When people go into hospitals for assessment and treatment, there are risks: they may get hurt, they may be there for a long time and they may lose touch with people who matter to them. There should be better ways of checking hospitals for adults with learning disabilities and autism to make sure that patients are safe.
How national and local guidelines, policies and procedures for safeguarding affect day to day work with children and young people
The world as we know it has had many issues that has affected the lives of many people in our community. Some of these issues produce a negative response or unfair opportunities for the people with these issues. One type of issue that can be affected negatively in our community is child disabilities or any disabilities in general for that matter. The life of a person with disabilities could be a huge issue if the community keeps responding the way they have been responding.
You should also be aware of our own physical safety by ensuring that you are trained the in correct methods of handling children who have physical difficulties. For example, lifting and handling courses. In the case of children or young people with behavioural problems who may be a danger to themselves or others, you should be trained in positive
The question of whether to include natives in your society was a big one because of all the possibilities of good and evil. Would the natives help or possibly hurt the society they had worked so hard to establish? Every possibility would have to be analyzed for precautionary purposes because once decided the effects were almost permanent. Including and excluding the natives had different effects on the Spanish, French, and British.
Below I detail two important reasons why supporting young children with disabilities who have experienced abuse and
Provides guidance on policies and procedures to guide schools and other professionals who have links with the schools and children with SEN. It provides support, advice on, how to meet the needs of SEN children to the age of 25 as well as promoting their welfare. The Act develops a strong relationship between parents, schools, local authority and other organisations that deal with childrenâ€TMs with SEN and to help raise achievement of children without
Every person, since the advent of modern human civilization, has searched for where they belong and what they’re meant to do in this world. That is a difficult task to accomplish, but throughout history the hurdles that they’ve needed to overcome to reach that place of inclusion have changed dramatically. This newest generation will face problems such as lingering inequality for scores of minorities, an epidemic that has swallowed much of the population over the past thirty years, the skyrocketing cost of college that haunts them throughout their adult lives, and the ever-changing reality of our planetary ecosystems’ health. However, I argue that none of these enormously challenging situations are the greatest challenge our generation will
Fortunately, since 1975 Special Education has been a priority for the United States. They have created many organizations and programs that help many kids since their birth. The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), “ understands the many challenges still facing individuals with disabilities and their families. Therefore, OSERS is committed to improving results and outcomes for people with disabilities of all ages. OSERS supports programs that serve millions of children, youth and adults with disabilities,” (“ U.S Department of Education”) An example of what U.S government had established in some organizations as a purpose for a better life for these kids with disabilities. They dedicated their time on all the children
The book "From ABCs to ADHD" will provides practical insight of how they are supposed to be dealt to help them nurture their confidence, advice and help them to boost their "concentration and studying skills". Also, the article "Dilemmas in the quest for inclusion" presents creative thoughts of ways of approaching the challenges of inclusion. Moreover, I will use the book Case Study Research, as a guideline of how to do the case
