Your Question?
Looking for answers in WHS QLD in regards to model codes of practice or similar and the State legislations relating to Chidren's Services.

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I am thinking Child Care regulations Act, but not sure. So far have looked at WHS online.

Hi Lindy T!
Many thanks for your reply and assistance - sorry for not replying sooner, but my Internet has been playing up! A real pain when I need to research stuff!! The sites were helpful and I was kinda thinking that was what I needed. I had attempted to have a look. I found the 1st part of the questions would be Work Health & Safety Act 2011 and Work Health & Safety Regulation 2011. I know there's not a specific code of practice for Children's Service but looked at the links on website and found First Aid Codes of Practice and Hazards ect. As for the 10 strategies.... I am not sure...... but would this mean in relation to the Codes of Practice as in hazards like trips and falls, supervision of children playground (using mattress when they are climbing on play equipment) and first Aid ect. Or am on off on the wrong path again here????
Have a nice week-end and hope to hear from you again
thanks alot as it is greatly appreciated!
