M1: Discuss how policies and procedures help children, young people and their families whilst the

child is being looked after


When looking after children, young people and their families’ policies and procedures are vital to

ensure that children and young people are protected from any risks which could make them exposed

and vulnerable to neglect, abuse and exploitation. Policies and procedures need to be reviewed to

determine which are the relevant in terms of the provision, which will work to effectively keeping

children and young people safe at all costs.


Within a primary school provision there are certain policies and procedures that help to ensure they

receive equal opportunities to education, safety and security of looked after children. For example,

within Newham Bridge Primary School polices and producers are put into place, so children can

reach their full potential and are not disadvantaged. The policies and procedures require that staff

are trained so they know how to help looked after children by giving support and understanding

their educational needs and most importantly feel safe as outlined in the example below.


For example, if a looked after child has come from an unsettling environment in which they were

exposed to abuse and neglect, because of these factors this child has behavioural issues and lack of

trust. They may lash out towards another child and hit them as they may think that it is acceptable

from the environment they have come from. This is not acceptable behaviour and the primary

school will not tolerate this behaviour. The staff will use policies and procedures to address this

situation appropriately within the guidelines of their ‘looked after children policy’ while issuing a

punishment. For this to be achieved positively, staff will need to punish this child away from others

in a quiet manner, so they do not feel like they are a target which could result in more behavioural

issues. For this to happen the staff will need to be aware of the child’s situation past and present, so

they know exactly how to discipline appropriately. The provision is able to ensure the outcomes of

the ‘Every Child Matters’ policy is achieved or improved from any situation the child or young person

has come from or are in.
