What does duty of care mean? Give an example of how you fulfil your duty of care

Duty of care means being aware of the tasks and responsibilities you have as a child care

control those risks. All carers have a duty of care to provide a safe environment for children in
their care, and in doing so follow the guidelines of the centres policies and procedures.
