Young people assessment

You must also do specific risk assessments for young people - you need to take account of their nexperience, lack of awareness of risks and nmatirity (see the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999). [Pg.9]

Bipolar spectrum disorders are a serious group of conditions. Their onset in childhood or adolescence has the potential to exert a reactive impact on development, as well as on life in general. Accurate assessment of the bipolar symptoms and concomitant conditions is imperative to provide comprehensive treatment. Unfortunately, support for effective treatment in young people is limited, and to some extent, clinicians must proceed with treatment without the benefit of empirical support. [Pg.494]

If one accepts the position that the structure of mental illness may differ for young people with MR, then it is also reasonable to choose assessment instruments that are appropriate to that population. There are several tools that have been developed for parent and teacher ratings of patients with MR. Examples are the Aberrant Behavior Checklist, the Developmental Behaviour Checklist, the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form, and the Diagnostic Assessment of the Severely Handicapped (see Hurley et ah, 1998 Chapter 32, this volume). [Pg.618]

These instruments have the advantage of being congruent with different behavioral structures observed in MR. They also contain behaviors ordinarily not seen in typically developing children (e.g., pica, stereotypies, and self-injury), and many of them have the added advantage of normative data for young people who are mentally retarded. Hence, the choice of an appropriate assessment tool assumes some specialist knowledge of the field. [Pg.618]

In the only large study ever done to assess risk factors for stroke in young people (age 20-49) over a 1 -yr period (in Poland, a country where ephedra based products are widely used), nearly half the stroke cases were associated with preexisting hypertension, another 15% had hyperlipidemia, and 6% were diabetic (Jovanovic, 1996). None of the individuals were ephedrine users. [Pg.67]

The directive imposes several obligations on employers, which have to be observed when young people are working under a working contract. As with all other directives in the field of occupational safety, the employer has to perform a risk assessment and then implement the measures necessary to provide protection against a variety of risks. Of course, the risk assessment has to be done before work is started and has to be adjusted in case of major changes of the working conditions. [Pg.204]

The employer has another obligation in addition to the performance of a risk assessment, namely to inform young people of possible risks and the protective measures which have been taken. The directive does not contain a specific requirement concerning how often such information or training sessions have to take place. Some member states have ruled that employers repeat instruction sessions on a regular basis, for instance, once or twice per year. [Pg.205]

The risk assessment process involves not only teachers, but also pupils. Griffin (p. 4, 1996) rightly recognises it is about Educating children and young people in the principles and techniques of conducting risk assessment which will equip them with a skill which is not only transferable to a variety of educational activities, but even more importantly, a skill essential for Hfe . [Pg.28]

With forensic detail, the Committee searched for the presence of SEN within the Schools White Paper (DfES, 2005) in which personalisation featured and found little more than a passing mention of SEN (p. 64). It did however, find a claim that Children and young people with SEN already benefit from the personalisation inherent in the SEN framework, which provides an individuahsed assessment of need and tailored provision (p. 64). The Committee did not share this view. [Pg.38]

The risk assessments must take into account risks to new and expectant mothers and young people. [Pg.446]

Until 1970, educational inclusion could never be a realisable goal in England, since it was not until the Education Act of that year that all children and young people finally had the right to attend school. Prior to this, some children were assessed... [Pg.7]
