Case Study
A child has eaten a small red berry that they found in the garden. They are conscious but are complaining of a stomach ache and feeling sick.
- What should you do?
- Who should you ask for support and help?

- How will you make sure that other children are not harmed?
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.
