I am currently doing a unit involving a fire and the centre having to evacuate. The last question says "What must happen after the evacuation?" (Refer to the Education and Care Services National Regulations 2011)?
I have read over this and cannot find anything that assists in answering the questions. I would assume that aside from informing parents etc we would need to reevaluate the procedures and practices that would stop another firing incident occurring.
I just don't know what information I need from the National regulations
