Hi I am new to this site and find it really helpful. I am struggling on the same unit. Is there anyway you could help me. I am not sure if you where to go next.
Thank you
Claire

2)Explain how health and safety is monitored and maintained and how people in the work setting are made aware of risks and hazards and encouraged to work safely
3) Identify sources of current guidance for planning healthy and safe environments and services
4)Explain how current health and safety legislation, policies and procedures are implemented in own work setting or service
5)Demonstrate how to identify potential hazards to the health, safety and security of children or young people, families and other visitors and colleagues
6)Demonstrate ability to deal with hazards in the work setting and in off site visits
7)Undertake a health and safety risk assessment in own work setting or service illustrating how its implementation will reduce risk
8)Explain how health and safety risk assessments are monitored and reviewed
9)Explain why it is important to take a balanced approach to risk management
10Explain the dilemma between the rights and choices of children and young people and health and safety requirements
11)Give example from own practice of asuuporting children or young people to assess and manage risk
12)Explain the policies and procedures of the setting or service in response to accidents
13)Describe the correct procedures for recording and reporting accidents

is it just me or are a lot of the questions repeating themselves e.g. tasks 5,6,7 are all risk -assessment based and hard to know what different evidence to use for each!?!?!?!?!Reply With Quote

Is there any way i can email you privately....this was such a long assignment however when i got my head round it only took me 3 days, also have all my evidence that went with each question. Questions are exactly the same as what I have done . Have no problem sending you it xxxx

hi just been reading this thread and i am in the same sinking boat !!
i can manage the questions but i am stuck on the evidence for this unit, do you think if i do a risk assessment and get it witnessed that this will cover all the evidence required ? your advice would be gratefully received as my tutor seems to have gone awol !

hiya!

im just writing a risk asssessment then going to get the health and safety teacher officer at school to sign it. i also did one for an external trip i went on and will get the teacher to sign that off too. so far units 1,2 and 3 have been blooming hard work and not feeling positive about facing another 8 units....!!!!

I hope I am or else I've wasted an entire afternoon and this evening doing it LOL. I'm not exactly putting evidence in separately for the theories, just making it part of my report by saying how the theories are applied, such as Skinner's behaviourist theory where positive reinforcement is used, i.e., praise for children that are behaving well but ignoring bad behaviour.

I'm doing the course with the eLearning Centre/Study House. I think the website I went through was Direct Learning College or something like that.... there's a whole section in the course folder for 'Building Your Portfolio of Evidence'. Sadly, it just doesn't seem to say how much evidence they are expecting :/ xx

[Kat67]

Woohooo - I think I've done it! Well, other than sorting out my supporting evidence. Not at all sure whether I've done enough on that theories section, but I'd rather them send it back for me to do more than waste time doing work that I don't need to do. Might start looking at the next assignment now - thank you all for the replies and posts on this thread.... somehow, just expressing my worries and hearing that there are others out there feeling the same, it helped!

Hi girls, i have been chatting with some of you on here and am quite happy to say, through no help at all from my tutor, i have passed 1,2,3 and 4. If you need any help at all just shout..............struggling with assignment 5 at the mo but hoping to get it finished this week before Easter............xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well done kat67. Think I am doing the same as u and going to send assign one in and see what the tutor has to say rather than write stuff for no reason.

Thanks stoneat any help is appreciated. Didn't realise how hard I would find this. Cracked on with it last night and feel almost ready to send assign one in. could do with the support as the tutors aren't fab.

[Kat67]

Ah, thanks for that Stonenat! Well, I had a great chat with one of the teachers in school today and she was much more helpful than the tutor and course notes they sent me so I feel a lot more positive about it all now. I'm going to get my evidence done for assignment one and get that signed off and then I can send that in. I'm also going to have a bash at starting the next one which for me is Safeguarding Children. If any of you haven't got the book I bought a couple of weeks ago, I definitely recommend it because it's been a godsend to me and already I think it's going to be great for the next assignment. It's Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools (Primary) by Louise Burnham and Brenda Baker. I think this is the latest version of it and covers the units brilliantly!

[Kezmoo]

Ooo I will have to get that book. My next one is the same as yours. I am going to hand my first one in at the end of the week and also crack on with number two. Let me know how u get on.
