1.2 Poverty
This can result from low income, unemployment, parental separation, illness or disability, addictions, or criminal activities. Children may suffer malnutrition or a poor diet as a result of their parents being unable to afford quality food. This could result in lack of concentration or poor performance at school. They could also suffer other health related issues. They may be the subject of bullying as a result of their clothing or because they do not have the latest ‘must have’ accessories. They will probably miss out on further education due to the costs involved, or as a result of the need to find employment to help support the family.

• Poor housing
One of the side effects of poverty is poor housing. People on low income are often dependent on local authority housing. This may result in overcrowding, for example being housed in a bedsit or home with insufficient bedrooms. This means the child has no privacy, or personal space. They may struggle with homework and course work because of the lack of a quiet space in which to complete it. The housing provided may be of a poor quality – suffering damp or be in disrepair. This could have a detrimental effect on the child’s health – causing asthma or frequent colds and coughs. It will probably be in a less desirable area or could be in an area with social disorder problems. This may result in the children becoming isolated, as their parents may be fearful of letting them out to play or they may themselves become involved in anti-social behaviour and criminal activities.
1.3 To protect children from significant harm and improve children’s social care (by, for example, tackling domestic violence, poverty and neglect, drug, alcohol and mental health problems in families).
• To improve engagement in learning and achievement in educational skills (for example, improving schools attendance, behaviour, curriculum and ethos, improving language, literacy and

    The area a child grows up in has an effect, for example if a child is brought up on a council estate in poor housing they are more likely to have health problems. If parents are not working or have low income jobs they are likely to buy cheaper food and usually this means lower quality which can lead to health problems. Children and their families may have lower expectations. They might settle for the life that id mapped out. If a child lives in high rise flats or appartments they have less oppportunities to play. In poor quality housing there may not be a garden or safe playing area. This is reducing the childs opportunities to develop their physical gross motor skills. This of course is not always the case and there are many ways that we can tackle these issues and help to improve the chances and opportunities children have who live in poverty. However, if a lack of nourishing food is a problem due to severe poverty, this can severly damage a childs physical and mental well being. This can have a knock on effect in the sense that they become listless and withdrawn from having no energy, meaning they find it hard to take part in learning activities and won't have the benefit of developing their learning further. If there is a strained parental relationship due to money worries a child will undoubtedly be affect by this also. Poverty can affect children adversley in many ways and it's important that they get what they are missing at home when they go to pre-school/nursery.…

    If you are becoming a home based child carer then you must be aware of the current legislation and the role in which regulatory bodies play. If you wish to register for becoming a childminder in Northern Ireland you must do so through your local Health and Social Services Trust. A childminder must by law register with the local Health and Social Services Trust and the purpose of registration is to protect children, to provide reassurance to parents using childcare and to ensure that childminding services meet acceptable standards. To achieve registration a childminder is required to comply with standards of safety, equipment, numbers of children etc. The home environment is checked to ensure that it meets the standards required and that it is suitable to care for children. References and health checks are required as are criminal record checks on all individuals in the household over the age of 10. The Children (NI) Order 1995 states that registration should be completed within three months of receipt of the completed application form. Following on from registration, childminders are inspected annually by the Health and Social Services Trust. NICMA recognise that childminding is a professional day care service and as such, the registration process is the first step towards the provision of quality childminding. The Children (NI) Order 1995 states that a registered childminder is, "a person who looks after 1 or more children under the age of 12, for more than 2 hours per day, on domestic premises, for reward". Registered Childminders are self-employed day care providers who work in their own home to provide care and education for other people’s children within a family setting. Unlike nannies and au pairs, they are inspected and registered by Social Services on a regular basis. Registered childminders may be registered to care for up to 6 children between the ages of 0 - 12 years of age (including their own children) and only registered…

    Culture, religion and health conditions have an impact on food choices in our setting. there are many children within the nursery who have different dietary requirements all for different reasons. An example of this would be one of our children in Pre-School, have a child with an allergy to tomatoes and dairy so she would have soya yoghurt unlike the other children and would avoid all foods with tomato in. Children could be Vegetarians due to the beliefs and religion of their parents/carers therefore we would have a meat alternative such as quorn chicken instead of regular chicken.…

    Personal choice – Some families decide that they do not wish to live or act in a way in which is viewed from the outside the ' social norm ', for example being a travelling family or a child having same genders parents. If a Child is from a travelling family there is a possibility that their development at school may be delayed due to being transferred from school to school. Children also make personal choices.

Children need to be encouraged or be given guidance on their life, it is very important for children to have good role models in their life…
