Sustainable Practices In Childcare

Post by momotayeasmin » Sun Jul 05, 2015 2:23 pm

Children’s Services use large amounts of consumables such as power, water, art/craft materials, paper, food etc. They also generate a considerable amount of waste.
Your service needs information about ways to minimise wastage and promote sustainable practice. All Educators have been asked to contribute at a staff meeting. Research and provide information on one type of sustainable practice that you could share at the staff meeting?

Sustainable Practice Information points to share at staff meeting
Name of Source:
(What publication, website or documents did you use)

Someone please help me to answer this question.

Codes of Practice provide practical guidance on how to meet the standards set out in the WHS Act and the WHS Regulations. Codes of Practice are admissible in proceedings as evidence of whether or not a duty under the WHS laws has been met. They can also be referred to by an inspector when issuing an improvement or prohibition notice.

It is recognised that equivalent or better ways of achieving the required work health and safety outcomes may be possible. For that reason compliance with Codes of Practice is not mandatory providing that any other method used provides an equivalent or higher standard of work health and safety than suggested by the Code of Practice.

I don't understand why you have added this here? This question is referring to "Sustainable Practices"...
