I'm studying by correspondence and I'm wondering if someone could give me advise on an assessment question. If a carer walked away and left children unattended and a child was injured what could the carer do to demonstrate that she is accountable for her actions?
Thanks

Re: Child Injured While Being Left Unattended
Thanks any suggestions would be great. I think I only have to write about a paragraph and I have no deadline. I'd just like some extra input on the subject.
Thanks once again

Hi 2mermaids,
I got a suggestion...
When the child has an injury the carer needs to fill out an incident form which is then given to the parents. This incident form is the one that basically explains what happened during the incident / accident which caused injury to that child.
The incident report that you would need to fill out has a lot of detailed questions. Such as where was the child during the injury, where were each of the staff, how did the injury occur, what type of injury did the child have, first aid, etc etc. The carer should clearly state when filling out the form where she was at the time of the incident. In this instance "she walked away". This would make her accountable for her actions.

Re: Child Injured While Being Left Unattended
Just adding another suggestion. Yes, through the incident report the childcare carer will be able to justify that she is accountable for her actions.
Another point to consider, the child carer would need to present the incident report to the room leader (depending on position) or the authorised supervisor/director. They will also need to explain how the injury occured and will be asked how the incident happened. If the carer was a fault which caused the injury to the child, it will be dealt with accordingly by the centre. This could be in a form of a quick discussion with the director of the centre, a written warning (depending on how serious the incident is) or in serious cases further action can be taken.
