External Audit - Quality Area 2
Posted: Mon May 22, 2017 6:08 pm
You have recently had an external audit on the regulated and educational care service you work at. Most areas scored quiet well but there are a number of areas that improvement can be gained.
The manager has made an action plan and allocated different areas for each staff member to research and find improvements to present back to the staff at the next staff meeting in 3 weeks.
Your area is standard 2.3 Each Child is protected from Quality Area 2: Children’s Health and Safety and standard 6.3 The service collaborates with other organisations and service providers to enhance the children’s learning and wellbeing.
Specifically, your manager wants you to create a list of how you would ensure compliance with child protection regulations, legislation and duty of care responsibilities to refresh staff.
Your manager has also asked to create a list of local community resources that can provide information and support for children, families and educators as examples of “child-focused work practices”. Select those that focus on protective strategies and building on a family’s strengths such as those that:
- provide therapeutic and support services for families, children and young people at risk of abuse or neglect
- deliver health and education services, including maternal and child health services, schools, and specialist services for at-risk children and young people and their families.
Last but not least, the manager also wants you to create a list of risk factors for “At risk children” to share with all staff.
