4.Choose two policies which would be present within a child care setting and explain why these policies need to be in place.

Behavior policies are essential in the child care setting in order to encourage positive attributes in children. Children within these settings should refrain from inappropriate behaviors like sexism, racism, and abuse. Such behaviors have detrimental effects on children as they affect the confidence and self- esteem of the victim. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the caregiver to ensure negative behaviors do not happen and that behaviors policies are implemented, this can be achieved by educating the children a simple rule of caring for others.

• Security Policy

Caregivers have the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the children under their care. In the setting, the caregivers should be able to identify signs of abuse and act promptly in a strategic way that will not increase the problem. Further, the caregiver should ensure that only the right people come in contact with the children and those who are within the setting should understand the significance of the security policy. Overall, the security policy in the child care setting is to safeguard the child/ children from harm or injury.
