Poverty and social disadvantage

Poverty is the greatest danger to the healthy development of children and young people

• The child/young person’s diet may not be good.

• The child may be smaller at birth

• Children and young people may have to go without meals and clothes

Questions:If a child’s living conditions are not good, how would their

work and education suffer?

Housing

Low-income families are more likely to live

in:

Homes which are damp and/or unheatedRisk of infections

Densely populated and unattractive neighbourhoodsFew gardens and play areas

Overcrowded conditionsSome families housed in ‘hotels’, B&Bs etc: shared facilities

Questions:What are the effects for children of living in poor housing?

Environmental Factors

Water pollution

Noise pollution

Air pollution

Questions: • How might these affect a child/young

person’s health and development?• If there is lots of air pollution where a

child lives, what are the effects of this?

Play Play is important for a child’s: relationships physical coordination ideas and creativity feelings

Questions:1. Give examples of some

play opportunities that are available in nurseries?

2. How does play affect your P.I.L.E.S?

Parenting

• The health and lifestyle of a parent/carer can have a real effect on a child’s development, e.g. mum suffers from depression, dad is violent, mum is an alcoholic, dad is a drug addict.

• Sometimes children have to take on a carer’s role.

Parenting• Parents may not ‘be available’ (physically and

emotionally) for their children.

• Children may suffer physical neglect.

• Parents may not show much love and affection

• Some living conditions may be poor and/or unsafe.Questions:How would a child’s own health be affected if theyadopt a parent/ carer’s role?

Think back to the nurseries you all planned in groups last week.....Imagine the children in your nursery. You are now going to think about factors affecting

the development of those children....
