Re: CHCCHILD401A Assessment 3 task 2
I think you're on the right track with your response. From what I understand from this question it's basically asking how information will be recorded during a notification and what you have responded is correct from what I believe. Just for your reference, I'm adding a list of questions that could be asked during the notification:
If you don't have a copy of a child protection policy just google it. You will be able to find plenty on the net from other centres. You check it out to gain a better understanding on what details are included in a childcare protection policy.
Hope this helps,
