Scenario - The Student I
Rosalina (21 years) is an educator and has been employed at the service for approximately eight months. Today a student from the local high school is commencing a two-week work experience placement. Rosalina’s Supervisor has asked her to explain to the student the procedures for cleaning the tables and tidying the equipment at the end of the morning play session.
Q - What aspects of the task would be best demonstrated?

what does this mean?

Please help.
thanks in advance.

To me this means that the student is to be shown how the tables are to be cleaned at the end of the session and what is done with the equipment e.g at the end of each meal time or end of session each table is to be cleaned using hot soapy water, the tables are to be cleaned using this colour cloth a lot of centres have a different colour cloth for each area and different colour mop and bucket for each area however some centres use a spray bottle substance and paper towel one piece of paper towel is to be used per table other wise there would be cross contamination. The equipment pending which age group is using it may need to be disinfected after this session prior to the next session starting for example if was in the baby rooms baby's would of been placing the equipment in their mouths etc. below is a cleaning policy for a centre for you to look over
