The responses to incidents oi actual abuse in children can be justfed. .y frst response was maintaining respect and
dignity. This is the frst response because it took the child a lot oi courage to open up about the abuse, so it is
essental that the adult shows them respect and dignity. Ii the adult did not do this, ior instance ii they accused the
child oi lying, the child may decide not to tell anyone else about it and they would keep it to themselves. This would
lead to iurther issues in the iuture, such as low seli-esteem or mental health problems. Thereiore, it is extremely
important that the adult careiully listens to the child and assures them that they did the right thing. .y second
response was working with others to deal with disclosure oi abuse. This is the second response because afer the
child has told an adult about the abuse, it is important that they report it to someone who deals with child
protecton so that the child can no longer be harmed. This cannot be the frst response because frst the adult will
have to listen to the child in order to know exactly what happened, beiore they report it to social services so that the
abuse can be disclosed.
The priorites oi dealing with incidents oi actual abuse in children can be justfed. .y frst priority was to ensure the
saiety oi the child. This is the frst priority because the child's saiety comes frst as children are vulnerable and need
to be protected. The most important step in cases oi abuse in children is to protect the child irom any iurther abuse.
This is especially important in an iniant school because they are social care services where children are at the centre
oi the service. .y second priority was to access support ior own emotonal reactons afer an incident. Dealing with
a child who has been abused can be psychologically damaging, it can cause trauma, nightmares or fashbacks. It is
important that these issues are dealt with because they can cause problems in the individual's personal liie. For
example, ii a teacher at the iniant school gets nightmares due to the reported abuse they may not be able to sleep
at night so their teaching would not be as efectve and the learning oi children would be afected. This is the second
priority because again, the children's saiety and well-being come frst.

The responses to fre can be justfed. .y frst response was carrying out the evacuaton procedure. This is the frst
response because people's lives come frst. The evacuaton procedure is taking the correct steps in order to get
yourseli and others out oi the fre saiely, such as using fre exits. This is very important because doing so will ensure
that lives are saved and injuries are prevented. This also means that individuals inside the building will have as much
tme as possible to escape the fre, and they can help the young children get out as they are less able. Furthermore,
carrying out the evacuaton procedure frst will put less strain on fre services. .y second response was working in
partnership with emergency services. This is the second response because fre services will help put out the fre and
help anyone who is trapped inside the building. This is essental because ii the fre is not put out it can spread even
iurther, even onto other buildings which will cause more deaths and injuries. Also, the fre services will ensure that
more lives are saved. This step is crucial but it is not the frst response because individuals should get themselves
into saiety frst beiore calling fre services.
The priorites oi dealing with a fre can be justfed. .y frst priority was to ensure the saiety oi people. This is the
frst priority because saving lives is the most important. The iniant school should ensure that all individuals are saie
beiore anything else. For instance, ii they started implementng improvements ior the iuture beiore everybody was
saie this wouldn't make sense, because people would die and become seriously injured. Thereiore, ensuring the
saiety oi others is most important. .y second priority was to implement improvements ior the iuture. This is the
second priority because it is important to prevent these kinds oi accidents irom happening again in the iuture. Ii a
fre occurred again more lives would be lost and more people would become injured. The iniant school would
implement improvements ior the iuture by frst fnding out what caused the fre, and then making sure that saiety
