Case Study

You and a colleague, Jasmine, are trying to decide what resources you should buy using the budget allocated to your room. You have collected together a number of catalogues from nursery and school suppliers, but it is obvious that the budget will not allow you to get everything you want

.Jasmine has suggested saving money by getting some of the toys from a local market where things are very cheap because they don’t come in any packaging.

1. What potential problems could arise from buying unpackaged toys from the local market?
2. Is there any legislation or guidance that might help you in making a decision?

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.
