LA020470 - FDC Educator Leaving Children Unattended

Post by georgiemai8 » Mon Nov 07, 2016 6:49 pm

Hi there,
just wondering if you would be able to assist me in this assignment question
7)7) According to the NQS (2.3.1) Children are adequately supervised at all times. What would happen if a Family Day care educator was repeatedly leaving the children unattended to work on the computer? CHCLEG001 Topic 1 Identify and respond to legal requirements-types of obligations and requirements

So far i have stated that..
The incident would have to be reported to the supervisor or director by another care who has witnessed this.

165 Offence to inadequately supervise children
(1) The approved provider of an education and care
service must ensure that all children being
educated and cared for by the service are
adequately supervised at all times that the children
are in the care of that service.
Penalty: $10 000, in the case of an individual.
$50 000, in any other case.
(2) The nominated supervisor of an education and
care service must ensure that all children being
educated and cared for by the service are
adequately supervised at all times that the children
are in the care of that service.
Penalty: $10 000.
(3) A family day care educator must ensure that any
child being educated and cared for by the educator
as a part of a family day care service is adequately
supervised.

FDC Educators are by themselves when working with the children so they don't have anyone to supervise them directly while they work with children on a day to day basis.

As for your response "Offence to Inadequately Supervise Children" I think you are on the right track with your response! :thumbup:
