Yes they seemed to be fine except b) I would probably change it to F because in childcare educators also have a duty of care towards children...

Hi Lorina
Could you please clarify for me how '(e) Keeping your knowledge and skills up to date is one way of fulfilling your duty of care' is a false statement.
It's looks like a true statement to me as by keeping up to date with policies and procedures, legislation and regulations will help us in fulfilling our duty of care.
