What steps are taken when a child has bitten another child?
A child who has bitten another child is told why what they have done is wrong and is asked to apologise to the other child. If we get repeated occurrences of biting, the child is removed from the activity and taken to do something else. A behavioural incident form may be filled out after repeat biting incidents and the parent informed of the issue – a strategy to combat this behaviour will be drawn up between the care staff and the parents. If necessary and with the parents permission, a health visitor will be called in to assist with a strategy and to provide advice and support to parents and staff.
