Course Overview
Course Overview Although there are many different
illnesses which can be experienced during childhood, there are several which are
common to many babies and children. Therefore, it is crucial that those who
work, or want to work, with babies and children in an early years setting
develop an in-depth knowledge and understanding of common childhood illnesses.
Not only will this help in ensuring babies and children who are unwell receive
the care they need, but it will also help lessen the possibility of the illness
spreading to others.
This course will equip learners with a strong understanding
of common childhood illnesses, including how to provide a safe and healthy
environment for babies and young children, how to recognise when a baby or child
is unwell, and how to manage acute and chronic health conditions in an early
year setting.
