Describe how to manage risks associated with conflicts or dilemmas between an Individual’s rights and the duty of care.

There are many ways to manage risks associated with conflicts and dilemmas and child protection issues can cause conflict with parents if you report them and dilemmas that I might come across. Conflicts such as; Manager to staff, staff to manager one staff thinking there is a problem another thinking there is no problem. There could be conflicts between abuser and carers regarding an allegation that were made and this could mean conflicts between staff and staff, parent or carer and staff, staff and parent or carer etc.
Dilemmas will be when to get help regarding child protection issues e.g. if you do not refer case, the child might continue to suffer abuse. You should know when to share information with others in aspect of confidentiality. If you sure, the child is at risk and see any concerns regarding any child you should report it, like the motto better safe than sorry.

Just want to know if these answer the question

You might also want to consider:

Risk assessments- How do we risk assess enough to keep children safe while still giving them the chance to explore and take risks for themselves?

Avoiding potential risks which could lead to harm through accident or spread of infection- While children have the right to explore we must still follow policies and procedures regarding accidents and infection

Having clear instructions and setting boundaries- For staff this is policies and procedures. For children we should have rules to follow around the setting, how do we have these while still upholding their rights?

Observe children and assess development- Part of duty of care is to assess development and be aware of any indication that their development is not as broadly expected for their age; how do we do this while still upholding the child's rights?

The rights of the child (just incase you need it :) )

Hope that helps :)
