TDA 2. 12 1. 1 Health and Safety erudition environments. The civilise has a strict policy that describes the needs of keeping children safe within their erudition environment. It is not plainly important that children argon safe in school but also that they feel safe themselves this creates a comfort fitting line to work. It is important that children be safe when playing outdoors therefore the principal(prenominal) front gate is kept locked when children are in the playground and only the instructor on duty holds a key. Safety indoor is do work by the site manager who performs some daily checks and some each week checks on the various equipment.The site managers job is to check out that the school building is free from hazards and obstructions as this will prevent children from having each unnecessary accidents. It is the teachers responsibility and our responsibility to make certain(p) that the classroom is free from hazards as there are many risks that could occur. in that location is a general classroom risk assessment updated every calendar month in order to avoid accidents. 1. 4 If using any resort equipment in my lessons, I would always ensure that this was properly set up and safe to use.I would test it myself by using the manufacturers guide, I would ask another member of staff if I fluent wasnt sure. 2. 4 As our school is eco-friendly, we have many disparate cycle drive offs in progress. One of these is paper cycle where any waste paper including misinterpreted printing/photocopying can be reused. Another recycling operation we have is food waste, excess food from the school canteen and fruit cores and skins from the children is all put into a separate bin. Other recycling includes bottles, plastic and general waste. 3. 2The physical environment is constantly ripe as it is an on-going procedure within school. Maintenance of health and safety of the children is taken care of in many ways i. e. a child/ a group of children are ne ver left on their own, gates are always locked around the school and children cannot open front door or back doors without the help of an adult. Only members off staff are able to enter the building using the thumb print security system. Areas are always made to ensure that children and adults are comfortable in their learning/working environment.In the winter, central heating is on and in the spend windows can be opened to let in fresh air. preserve raincoats and willies are provided for children (and adults) without during outdoor learning. Most discomforts that a child may strike up about can be sorted using the equipment and staff in the school. On-going activities will have been pre-planned and therefore the best space to do the action at law in will have already been allocated by the class teacher or whoever has prepared the activity. For example P. E. ctivities would be best done removed as there is plenty of room (and fresh air) however if it is fall the sports session s would then be done in the hall. The plain the activity takes issue in would also depend on the size of the class or group taking part. The children within the group would also need to be taken into consideration, for example are there any children that have disabilities which would thwart their performance if they were taken outside. Also blind/deaf children, the activities in the area would be adapted to ensure ease for everyone.
