The Effect of Caregivers, Physical Facilities, Environment and Food Safety on Safety Assurance Level in Child Care Centre
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: Safety assurance is crucial for every child placed under the supervision and care of a childcare centre. This study aims to investigate factors influencing the safety assurance level of childcare centres in Perak, Malaysia. The scope of this study concentrates on the parents who subscribe to the services provided by licensed childcare centres and their views towards the safety assurance level provided by the centres. Meanwhile, the state of Perak was chosen as the research setting following its status as the second-highest population in peninsular Malaysia and no research to date has been conducted regarding the safety of childcare centres within the state. This research is important to create awareness among parents and childcare centres on the factors that may influence children’s safety at childcare centres. Furthermore, having in-depth insights and understanding about the factors influencing the safety assurance level at childcare centres will minimise any threats and dangers on site, subsequently avoiding potential injuries, particularly to children.
