Lucy is six months old and attends an education and care service Monday, Wednesday 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.

Ok, thanks for that. Now I am able to better help you. What is the question that you need help with? It's a little unclear in your first post.

Thanks,
