CHCECE009 - Policies To Be Kept According To The National Regulation

Post by srh_wzr13 » Fri Oct 16, 2015 4:42 am

Question: List at least six policies or procedures that should be kept at an education and care service according to the national regulations.

Attempted answer:
1) Maintaining the health and safety of children and ensuring appropriate emergency procedures are practiced within the service.
2) Delivery and collection of children should be from appropriate and authorized personnel.
3) Rights of children are maintained and respected.
4) Maintaining hygiene and taking precautions when handling food/beverages.
5) Appropriate sun protection methods should be maintained and availability of shade be considered when planning outdoor activities.
6) Respecting and valuing the different cultures prevalent at the care setting.
7) The role of parents and families should be respected and supported.

I'm not sure whether this is the correct answer, and i'm confused. Please help.
Thank you.
