Examples Of Diversity That Conflict With Policies

I just signed up here on the Aussie Childcare Network because it seems like a very helpful site. I started my cert 3 at the start of this year.

So I am stuck on Part 3 of this assessment... Any help would be much appreciated.


Discuss three examples of diversity and inclusion in the workplace that conflict with service policies, frameworks, rights and responsibilities of workers, employers and clients.

You must recognise at least one legal and one ethical situation where misunderstandings may arise. One example must link to National Quality Standard.

Answer the following questions for each example:
1. What are the legal or ethical considerations?
2. How does this impact on the individuals?
3. What are the consequences of a legal breach? OR how can this ethical dilemma be resolved?
4. What effective oral communication technique would you use to liaise between differing cultural contexts and situations?


Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the forum!

OK, we need to come up with three examples of diversity and inclusion that may conflict with working in an early childhood setting. So, diverse people within the community include: Indigenous Australians, people with disability, people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, mature age workers and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people.

For the second part of the question have a look at the NQS and see if you can come up with a legal and ethical issue that may arise.

Guide To The NQS

For example:

Legal - an unauthorised person wants to pick up a child from the centre
Ethical - a family doesn't want their child to participate in birthday celebrations at the centre

Hope this helps,

Also, in regards to ethics this may help:
