Unit 027, 1.1 - Describe the factors to take into account when planning healthy and safe indoor and outdoor environments and services.

When providing a healthy and safe environment both inside and outside the nursery, there are factors myself and other practitioners need to consider; individual children and any specific needs they may have, for example at my work place we a baby with Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes restricted growth, poor core muscle strength, learning difficulties, behavioural problems such as temper tantrums or stubbornness and a permanent feeling of hunger which will start between the age of 2 and 8 years old. The practitioners who work with the baby must always consider
For example, the nursery manger will carry out a risk assessment on the nursery food preparation areas. Once completed, the risk assessment will be used to see if any adjustments or improvements need to be made in order to make the areas safer. Please see over the page a photocopy of a completed risk assessment as an example. * Following company and legal policies and procedures related to health and safety – I must adhere to and act in line with my work place policies and procedures which include;
