Your Question?
the scenario is:
Jamelle is a 14 month old toddler. She attends the centre 3 days a week and recently her mother who works 2 days a week has been trying to get extra days at the centre for Jamelle.
Jamelle is a very timid baby, rarely smiles and does not interact with other infants during play time. It has been noted by staff that Jamelle has had several large bruises which Jamelle’s mother has explained as accidents that had occurred whilst Jamelle was attempting to walk by herself. Staff do not feel the bruises are from falls due to the shape and sizes.
Jamelle often arrives at the centre wearing her night nappy, smelling strongly of stale urine, her skin appears dirty and unwashed. There is often no fresh change of clothing in Jamelle’s bag.
When Jamelle was brought into the child care centre this morning, she had bloodshot eyes and was very drowsy. Jamelle’s mother reported that Jamelle had not slept well that night and would probably need a lot of sleep today.
