CHCCS400C - Child Sensitivity To Food Products

Post by danielle96 » Sun Jul 27, 2014 12:34 pm

Your Assignment Module Number and Heading: CHCCS400C - Work within a relevant legal & ethical framework
Your Assignment Type: Standard Question
Currently Working in Childcare? No
Your knowledge: Beginner

Your Question?
A child has a sensitivity to some food products. The child's mother has complained that he was given this food yesterday at the centre.
What would you do and who do you need to report this to?


What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
Have over-thought this answer too much and have confused myself.
Unsure to the 'what would you do' part. As for who I report it to, would it simply just be the director of staff at the centre?


Description and Message:
Help would be much appreciated! :thumbup:

Something like this:

Find out what the menu was from yesterday
Ask the cook what the alternative meal was for this specific child
Go find from child's staff if the correct meal was given to child
Look at ingredients of meal to find out what ingredients was used
Write up an incident report, record parent concerns, your findings, give it to director for further investigation...

Hope this helps,
