Case Study
You notice that a child in your class, Jemima, gets a red rash after you apply the generic sunscreen her parents provided for outdoor activities. You’re worried she is having an allergic reaction.
- Who should you tell about the allergic reaction?
- Should you suggest Jemima stops taking part in outdoor activities when it’s sunny?
- Are there any alternative products you could use for sensitive skin?
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.
