Case Study

The senior practitioner at an Early Years Setting uses a Risk Assessment Form to identify risks and hazards, both indoors and outdoors. Marcus is a Level 2 Early Years Practitioner student, and when he arrived at the setting this morning, he noticed that the outside climbing frame was very wet and slippery. Marcus realises immediately that this is a potential hazard.
  1. What action should Marcus take?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
