Your Assignment Module Number and Heading: Childrens Health &Safety CHC30113
Your Assignment Type: Standard Question
Currently Working in Childcare? No
Your knowledge: Beginner

Your Question?
For example:
Under the NQS there are a number of standards that are relevant to the safety of children in an early childhood education and care service. What are the main standards that support this?

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
Are these the seven quality areas of the NQS?

How would I put my answer?

Once I get the hang of how to word things I'll be ok, just the way they word the questions confuses me.

Description and Message:

So far I have written
"The NQS describes seven main quality indicators for the operation and delivery of education and care services" should I be writing out the 7 areas? Or am I over thinking the question? I'm working from the book "the big picture" edition 3..
thank you!

HI there
I would think they main standards that support safety of children are 2, 3, and 4.
2. children's health and safety which deals with comfort, hygiene, eating, physical activity
3. physical environment which deals with design of facilities, their maintenance and cleanliness
4. Staffing which deals with having adequate staffing ratios and correct qualifications.

Hope this helps

CHCIC301D Question 17......How could you manage different family/cultural practices about children's behavior? This does not make any sense to me. Am I supposed to manage behavioral issues with a child of a different culture or am I to manage this child's behavior because of his/her family/cultural practices? Help please. From Red Frog.
