Case Study

You are working with a child who is 2 years old but is currently not walking. Because their development is delayed they are still in a cot for sleep time.
- Consider carefully the way in which you will need to lift and handle this child to ensure that you do not cause injury to your back.
- Consider if you need any specialist help, assistance or resources to help you to support this child effectively.
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.
