Case Study
You have overheard two members of staff discussing problems they are experiencing in following one of your setting’s health and safety procedures. Rehka is a new employee and this is her first job. The other member of staff, Petr, has been at your setting for about 2 years. You become aware that Petr is telling Rehka that no one follows that procedure and that she should just ignore it.
- What should you do about the conversation you have overheard?
- What immediate action is required?
- What other action do you think is necessary?
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 assessor.
