Duty of care is a requirement to exercise a ‘reasonable’ degree of attention and caution to avoid negligence which would lead to the harm of other people
When working with children we must safeguard them in various ways:
-Carry out risk assessments and take precautions to avoid potential hazards which may lead to harming the children
-Set clear expectations and boundaries for children’s behaviour, use strategies to discourage any behaviour which may harm or distress others.
-Observe children and assess development and be alert to any indications that their progress is not as broadly expected for children of their age
-Understand the ways children may be abused by others, be aware of the signs that a child may be experiencing such harm and follow appropriate procedures is abuse is suspected
Hope that helps :)
