Hi There,

I am new to this Network
I Have just started my CERTIFICATE III IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND CARE COURSE. I am doing it online and have 6 months to complete it. I haven't done much study since i left school 12 years ago, so its all a little daunting to me. I just want to know if I'm reading and answering this question (my forte question on my first assessment) correct? Thanks in advance.

Fairness, inclusion and diversity support the framework, and the best practice is given in supplying the best education and care services. each Child id given the access to quality education and care that meet the needs of the children and their families.
