Answer to Question 1

Prevention is the most important step teachers can take to minimize their risk of negligence charges. They must be familiar with children's developmental skills and abilities, implement safety precautions in classrooms and outdoor play areas, provide appropriate and continuous supervision, and seek legal advice when developing program policies. In addition, teachers should pay careful attention to job descriptions, understand the expectations associated with their position, and have the required qualifications and training. It is also a wise decision to obtain legal counsel if ever accused of wrong-doing and to purchase personal liability insurance.
