im currently doing my diploma and i am not sure how to answer this question. Please help!
Hi Shanlopez,
Maybe think about children who have anaphylaxis. A hazard could be if another child brings in something that the child is allergic to. For example nuts, nut products...
Also if a child has a medical condition such as cystic fibrosis, it could be a hazard if another child comes to the service who has a cold. As a cold could be life threatening to someone with cystic fibrosis.
Pollen/grass could be a hazard to a child who has asthma.
Hope this gives you some ideas.
Jules.
