Legislative Cluster Early Childhood Education and Care Off-the-Job Assessment

Hi Lorina.

I am having a little bit of difficulty with two questions in this scenario:
Lucy is six months old and attends an education and care service Mon, Wed and Friday. Lucy’s mother is Aboriginal and a night packer at the local shops so dad drops Lucy off and mum picks her up. They live in a community where police often visit due to frequency of violence. It is Monday and Lucy’s father drops her off. Lucy has just started to sit up whilst aided with soft pillows around her. You attempt to sit Lucy down but she screams and puts her hands up for you. Lucy’s father tells you she has been like this all morning and he has had enough and needs to get to work and he leaves.
You decide to check Lucy’s nappy when you notice the nappy is soaked through; she has a nappy rash that has resulted in her bottom bleeding and a large red hand print at the top of her leg. Lucy is screaming as you attempt to place a clean nappy on her. You gently place nappy cream on her bottom as permission has been granted on the enrolment form and pick Lucy up to console her


Will the parent be notified? Explain why or why not?
I have wrote that I will not report to the family as it breeches confidentiality. Is that correct? and Is there something else I can add to it.

Also with the question
Clearly explain the procedures for reporting in your state or territory, include the organisation you contact, contact numbers and information you need

Where would I find the procedures for reporting in QLD.

Thank you
