2.4 Evaluate the effectiveness of strategies to encourage child person and
care's participation in developmental assessment
With increasing demand of child care facilities for well-being and proper growth
development of a child, a number of assessment programs are organised. It includes educational
and learning activities, self-care and self-understanding procedures, making child able to
understand what is good for health and more (Halsall and et. al., 2019). These practices give
support to child and their family members to prevent from abusive activities and sustain a better
life. It helps kids in learning the basic activities and skills at each childhood stage like toddling,
eating, interacting with others etc. which are essential for proper growth of their physical and
mental growth. It makes them able to understand the environment where they live and care
themselves for sustaining good life. For example – Focusing on children of age 1 to 4 years, by
monitoring their behaviour especially when they are exposed domestic violence, evidence based
practices can be run. It includes Pediatric Health Settings and Early Childhood Programs, these
programs are effective in turning negative behaviour of child towards positive one. Educational
based and Paediatrics programs also help in giving supportive environment to child for
enhancing their abilities and learning skills which are essential for positive growth of mind.
Along with this, using evidence-based practices aid care practitioners to get support of state
authorities for running assessment programs for well-being of child, by getting necessary
resources like fund (Papadopoulos and et. al., 2019). For this purpose, they provide state
agencies the information why a specific model is used for meeting needs of a child regarding
with personal growth. Such models aid in gathering data about cultural background of child of
early age which are hindering their growth. Through this process, care practitioners can
emphasise such data for implementing effective practices. In this regard, providing learning
environment as per need of each child also helps in encouraging them as well as their family
members, to get involve in developmental assessment programs (World Health Organization,
2019). This would help in involving each child in programs that teach them about basic or
fundamental skills, which is essential for mental and physical growth. In some circumstances
where care practitioners find themselves unable to handle the mood swings or abnormal
behaviour of a child, like child having mental issues due to violence at home, then they can
referral them to other agencies for their well-being. It includes rehabilitation camp, mental
asylum and other care-providing institutions where medical team is available to give treatment

for such children, in preventing them from drug addiction or other bad habits. For this purpose,
care practitioners also help children at early age and family members to live in such a society
where these kinds of activities do not happen. This would help in providing them better and
sustainable life for healthy living.
