Service workers need to understand their own job roles and the legislative requirements that impact on them, their clients and the service they provide. They must understand their job roles, their responsibilities, and their legal obligation.

What parts of the legal system do they need to understand and from what sources can they get useful information?
It is your duty of care for looking out for the safety and the wellbeing of the children under your care. To minimize any possible harm. Access information on 'The Australian Institute of family studies'. Each agency has their policies and procedures for identifying and responding to possible risks of harm. Quality are 2 of the NQS for early childhood education and care and school age care, should be included in the organizational procedures and policies that relate to health and safety of children.
Organizational procedures and policies should have guidelines on how to recognize and respond to concerns of child abuse relevant for your state under the child protection legislation.
The website www.acecqa.gov.au provides a national approach to regulations assessment and quality improvement for early childhood education and care.
