I'm doing CHCCS400A and stuck a bit
Case Study 1
Presanthi and her husband Jim have their child, Sue-Lyn, in your service. Presanthi and Jim have not arrived to collect Sue-Lyn at their usual time. A lady comes into the service later and says her name is Mandy, she tells you she is here to collect Sue-Lyn as both parents Presanthi and Jim are late home from work.
• Clearly explain what action you would take in this situation. Detail all steps involved.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Case Study 2
A parent of a four-year-old child comes to make a complaint about one of the other staff members who works in the same room as you. The parent says they staff member ignores her child and often yells loudly at her child. You have also heard your colleague yell at children occasionally.

Case Study 3
You work in a childcare centre. You have noticed that Charlie (three years) has been very challenging in recent times. She does not follow directions by staff, is aggressive in her behaviour with children and staff and does not appear to concentrate or attend to task. You notice one day that Charlie has bruising on the inside of her legs and bruising on her arms.
• What should you do? Provide a step-by-step account of your actions.

Case Study 4
You are out one night in a local club with your friends when you see one of the parents from the centre. The parent comes over to your group and starts talking about one of the families at the service where you are employed. She mentions that she has seen one family that attends the service leaves their two children under five years of age locked in the car while they play the various gaming machines in the club.
• How should you deal with the situation at the time? What would you say?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
• What concerns do you have with this situation? Relate your answer to relevant legal and ethical guidelines.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
• How would you deal with the information the parent shared with you?
