Can A Trainee and A Casual Be Left In The Room

[hawes]

Im a trainee at my workplace working towards my cert III, i was just wondering, am i allowed to be left alone in a room with just me and a causal worker especially if they are new to the service and don't know any of the room routine?
Is that classified as me leading a room and am i allowed to lead a room as a trainee?

It is ideal to have a cert 3 and diploma within the room. The diploma is primarily the room leader because they are trained and responsible for all the documentation that is required such as observations, reflections, programming and planning etc. Since you are working towards a cert 3 qualification you can be counted towards cert 3 for ratio purposes however you have not be trained in documentation or programming so therefor unable to lead the room...

Where are the other Educators? Who does the programming and planning and obsrvations for exmple, for your room?
