You can complete these activities on paper or on a computer / device.

Answer the following questions:
1) The producers had ensured that the children were safe at all times during the task. Can you identify 3 potential risks?
2) Independence is a key skill that children should learn. Describe how independence can prepare a child for starting school?

There are many different additional needs that you may come across when working with children.
For this task please research one additional need that a child may have and create an informative fact sheet about that need.
You might include:
Key facts/statistics of the additional need
How a child with the additional need can be supported in a school/nursery environment
Charities which could offer support to the parent/carer
Think about the presentation and layout of your fact sheet. You should include pictures and make it inviting to read!
