Guest Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Hi Could anyone tell me how you communicate with parents about safety and hygiene in your setting? Other than notices on noticeboards,newsletters,public health posters and publications,informal discussions. thanks
Fredbear Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Hi have you got a particular reason for this, risk assessments, policies or is this general housekeeping tips etc.
Guest Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Hi have you got a particular reason for this, risk assessments, policies or is this general housekeeping tips etc. I am writing an assignment as part of DPP level 3 and I wanted to make sure I had covered everything. The question was how do you communicate with children,other adults in the setting and parents about safety and hygiene. thanks
Cait Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 If we see 'runny noses' on arrival we always point out "There's loads of tissues, here you are - and there's some antibac squirty stuff for your hands - here' as we pass tissues and squirt their hands with a 'can't be too careful' type of smile! We have posters up and we remind parents regularly about keeping poorly children at home. We tell children not to play near doorways or sit and take shoes off just by the door etc And the usual handwashing things after playing outside and before eating, that sort of thing
Guest Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 The only other thing I can think of is that the adults role model healthy and safe practice for children to follow. Good luck with your studies. Peggy
liz4 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 hi i am also stuck on this topic how did you get on? i am very confused and lloking for just some bullet pionts to start me off
Beau Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Hi Liz4, There have already been many ways to communicate mentioned above - to get you started with your bullet points just collect those together. Additional to what has been mentioned I would also add setting policies and induction procedures for staff and regular helpers. Good luck with your assignment.
Guest Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Displays on safety in the home Giving out leaflets in Safety week Discussion with children when cooking especially when using knives etc - also when using other tools Visual timetable on wall by toilets reminding that washing hands are part of the process 'Now wash your hands' notices in adult loos Using one of those lights that show germs on hands (can't think what they are called) Is this the sort of thing?
