Case study:
Cassie is supervising the preschool group in the outdoor play area when a co-worker, Dianne, calls her from inside asking for her help to move a table. Cassie is the only worker outside, but she knows her children well and thinks they’ll be fine for a few moments, while she is inside. She helps Dianne and when she is walking back outside she hears screaming. Riley one of the children in her group, had fallen from a climbing frame and was lying on the ground holding his arm.
1. what obligation did Cassie fail to meet
and 5> what shoould Cassie do next to demonstrate that she is accountable for her actions>

1. yes well Cassie should not have gone inside leaving the children unsupervised. She should have told DIanne to wait or find someone else to help
2. Not sure but she would have to fill out an incident report form and state and aknowledge that she was not present on the scene at the time of the accident & left the children by themselves

cool thanks so much u really did help me

got another question i am stuck on this is in relation to working ethically.
A parent tells you not to give their 13 month old child any milk, only juice. She feels that the child has enough milk when at home. This child will not settle down with out a bottle of milk. What do you do?
A) what part of the code/s does this relate to

i have a feeling it is in relation to familes i will:
•Acknowledge the rights of the families to make decisions about their children
but not sure if there are other ones i am meant to put in.

any help will be muchly appriciative.
