Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Good morning all,
I'm finding this question hard to answer. Can someone please assist me with this question?
What legislation can you refer to when explaining to the parent the importance of social interaction and your role and responsibility in education and care services? mention 2-3 sentences.

In the National Regulations it states:

Part 4.5 Relationships with children

155 Interactions with children

An approved provider must take reasonable steps to ensure that the education and care service provides education and care to children in a way that—
(a) encourages the children to express themselves and their opinions; and

(b) allows the children to undertake experiences that develop self-reliance and self-esteem; and

(c) maintains at all times the dignity and rights of each child; and

(d) gives each child positive guidance and encouragement toward acceptable behaviour; and

(e) has regard to the family and cultural values, age, and physical and intellectual development and abilities of each child being educated and cared for by the service.

156 Relationships in groups

(1) The approved provider of an education and care service must take reasonable steps to ensure that the service provides children being educated and cared for by the service with opportunities to interact and develop respectful and positive relationships with each other and with staff members of, and volunteers at, the service.

(2) For the purposes of subregulation (1), the approved provider must have regard to the size and the composition of the groups in which children are being educated and cared for by the service.
