* Hand over the information compiled to the relelvant authorities

Q2. What ethical obligations do you have as stated in the NCAC's QIAS principles, service/centre policy and procedures, service agreements, Early Childhood Australia code of ethics, Child Care Regulations 2003?
* Relationships with children
* Respect for children
* Partnerships with families
* Staff Interactions

(Im so confused by this question)

Q3. What legal instructions do child care workers need to be aware of in their work environment?
Legal instructions child care workers need to be aware of in their work environment is to follow policies and legislation at all times as well as mandatory reporting. Mandatory reporters are protected under state/territory legislation.
