Legal and Ethical Obligations For Water and Sun Safety

Hello, I am stuck with this Case Study and what to answer for a section of it

1.Imagine that you are an educator in a family day care setting supervising the three children in the photograph.
Describe, in the table, what you would do to meet your legal and ethical obligations to these children playing in the water trough in the back yard and who you would report these to.


I am not sure how to answer the ethical obligations column and the who to report to column.

I feel as though I may be confusing my answers but this is my understanding so far..
Would the ethical obligations refer to ensuring children are wearing a hat/suncreen (following sun safe policies) and maintain supervision at all times around water?
And would the legal obligations be the water and sun safe policies themselves?

Also could you point my in the right way for answering who to report too.

I think you will need to refer to the water and sun safety policy...
