Unit 207 2.4 Provide an account with an example of a time when you have provided a child/children with reasons for your actions.

Please direct me in the right direction... thank you.

Hi,

Page 323 looks at communication and on page 334 ( search inside for 'providing reasons for actions' ) it offers some examples that you might find familiar.

Children and young people have a right to know why you are taking an action. Sometimes you have to do this because you know it is in the best interest of the children and young people concerned. However, there will be situations when you are unable to inform children, as it will increase the risk of harm toi them or another person close to them. You also have to judge when you have to involve other adults in a situation.

One way of providing resons for actions is to ensure that children have an understanding from the outset, particularly if you are involving them in a decision making process.

Examples

• Choosing groups of children to work together
• Taking a piece of equipment away, such as a favourite bike that is faulty.
• Informaing parents about negative or concerning behaviour
• Reffering a child for assessment

You could also look at tidying up times. Times where children are engaged in ongoing activity and don't want things put away or to leave their activity to go outside maybe or get ready to go home.


Hope this helps xx
