Hey all,
Just needing some help on task 2 question 6
"explain the inter-relationshipd between OHS and children's health and safety in children's services"
I don't really understand what I'm ment to do. Could someone please give me an example of how to do this.

Thanks in advance

Hi Amanda
OHS relates to occupational health and safety - there are lots of inter-relationships between this is children's health and safety. For instance, if you noted that the bike path in the outside play area was lifting up, or had large cracks in it this is a safety issue that could impact on chn;s safety and would need to be reported/repaired. If fruit was being prepared in an unsanitary environment for the children's fruit platters - same thing. You would have to state what you would do to rectify these situations. Hope this is of help.
