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.

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

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