I'm having a bit of trouble with one of the questions in the "Identify and Respond to Children and Young People at Risk" unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Question: List examples of an appropriate person/external agency that an educator would approach to avoid unethical dilemmas from occurring within the workplace.
I've read over and over my student work book and I don't really think it has what I'm looking for in there, the closest part i could find doesn't seem to really make sense with the question. I have written the section below.
Work collaboratively with relevant agencies to ensure maximum effectiveness of report:
Working collaboratively with child protection and other external agencies will help to ensure the maximum effectiveness of a report. These may include bat are not limited to: child protection authorities (i.e. FACS), health professionals and law enforcement officers. It is expected that educators and co-ordinators work collaboratively with other authorities and or professionals to support children who have specific protection needs and that a service has a current list of local community resources that can provide information and support for children, families, educators, co-ordinators, family day care educator assistance and staff members in relation to children at risk of abuse and or neglect (NQS pg 81) (searched for this but all i found was about indoor and outdoor environments
) Child protection should be a shared responsibility within the community and a collaboratively and integrated service system (i.e. an interagency network approach). This will utilise strengths and lead to co-ordinated actions towards achieving positive outcomes for children.
Thank you for reading this post and any help given.
Kind regards,
Melanie.
