Answer 2

By safeguards do you mean child protection procedures? Or do you mean the actual physical safety of the room?

Objectivity is important because when you observe or assess children, you must say exactly what you observe and try not to make judgements, otherwise it won't be accurate.

Hope this helps. If you look up ethics in the index of a good text book about observation, you should find what you need to know. (Try Jennie Lindon's book about assessment.)
