What are the implications of the following principles in relation to work and social practices in Early Education and Ca

Hi,

I need to answer the question: What are the implications of the following principles in relation to work and social practices in Early Education and Care services?

My tutor gave me the direction that for National Quality Standards Legislation or regulation (4 required) is needed NQF and it's 3 main components. So my answer so far is:

1. Early Years Learning Framework,
page 12: Educators recognize and respond to barriers to children achieving educational success. In response they challenge practices that contribute to inequities and make curriculum decisions that promote inclusion and participation by all children

page 24: The intent is to ensure that all children’s experiences are recognised and valued and that they have equitable access to resources and participation and opportunities to demonstrate their learning.


2. Framework for School Age Care, page 12: Educators and co-ordinators challenge practices that contribute to inequities and they make decisions that promote inclusion and participation of all children. By developing their professional knowledge and skills, and working in partnership with children, families, communities and other services and agencies, they continuously strive to find equitable and effective ways to ensure that all children have opportunities to experience a sense of personal worth and achieve outcomes.

3. NQS:
Standard 1.1 An approved learning framework informs the development of a curriculum that enhances each child’s learning and development.
1.1.5 Every child is supported to participate in the program.
Make sure that our environment, activities and program let all the children to participate in a daily routine which develop their social skills.

3.1.3 Facilities are designed or adapted to ensure access and participation by every child in the service and to allow flexible use, and interaction between indoor and outdoor space. Facilities should be designed or adapted to ensure access and participation by every child in the service, including adaptive equipment to support the inclusion of children with additional needs.
Standard 5.1 Respectful and equitable relationships are developed and maintained with each child.
Element 5.1.1 Interactions with each child are warm and responsive and build trusting relationships. We need to make sure that we create a positive environment where all the children and adults can socialize and join in an activities to develop their social skills.
5.1.2 Every child is able to engage with educators in meaningful, open interactions that support the acquisition of skills for life and learning. Making sure we have an appropriate equipment to support all children even those with special needs.

Standard 6.3 The service collaborates with other organisations and service providers to enhance children’s learning and wellbeing.
6.3.3 Access to inclusion and support assistance is facilitated. Make sure that all educators can recognize children’s barriers and take the appropriate action to help them to be included in the activities.
4. National Regulations
73 Educational program
(2) An educational program is to contribute to the following outcomes for each child:
(a) the child will have a strong sense of identity;
(b) the child will be connected with and contribute to his or her world;
(c) the child will have a strong sense of wellbeing;
(d) the child will be a confident and involved learner;
(e) the child will be an effective communicator.

76 Information about educational program to be given to parents
The approved provider of an education and care service must ensure that a parent of a child being educated and cared for by the service is provided with the following information on request
(b) information about the child’s participation in the program;

107 Space requirements—indoor space
(2) The approved provider of an education and care service must ensure that, for each child being educated and cared for by the service, the education and care service premises has at least 3.25 square meters of unencumbered indoor space.- The children need to have enough space to move around and to be able to participate in an activities with other children to build their social skills.
121 Application of Division 3 (1) This Division prescribes the minimum number of educators required to educate and care for children at an education and care service for the purposes of section 169(1) and (3) of the Law.
122 Educators must be working directly with children to be included in ratios An educator cannot be included in calculating the educator to child ratio of a centre-based service unless the educator is working directly with children at the service.

Could someone tell me please if that's what correct?

Thanks
