A new educator has started working at your service. During meal times you have observed her making statements to the children like, ‘You won’t be getting any dessert unless you eat all of your lunch’, ‘Children who don’t eat all of their food won’t get presents off Santa Claus’, ‘I’m not giving you a drink until you eat all of your carrots’ and ‘Well if you don’t eat the casserole I won’t give you anything else to eat. You will just have to go hungry’.
Complete the following:
a) Identify the Education and Care Services National Regulation this educator is breaching by making these statements.

b) Explain how this staff member is acting unethically and undermining the rights of the children in their care.
