Questions
1. What rights and needs do the children in your care have?
My service upholds the dignity and rights of each child to learn and grow in an environment that offers opportunities which reflect the holistic way children learn and grow in the wider world of family and community, experiencing responsive and reciprocal relationships with people, places and things. Children have the right to be provided with a safe and stable environment ensuring that the child receives the right needs and they are culturally appropriate. The dignity and rights of the child are upheld in my care by offering each child:
Dignity and respect as an individual child.
Opportunities to develop personality, talents, self-reliance and intellectual, social and physical abilities to their fullest potential.
Affirmation of their own culture, religion and language.
Equitable opportunities for full and active participation.
Opportunities for play as a vehicle for learning and for recreation.
Opportunities for rest and leisure.
Protection from physical and mental abuse or injury.
Access to a clean and protected natural environment.
2. When advocating for children who will we most commonly communicate with?
In most circumstances, mothers, fathers, family.
3. What steps would you take if you believed a child’s right or needs were not being met?
I would speak directly to my supervisor. And I would report it to higher authorities if the child was in potential risk of harm.
4. How do you promote the rights, interests and needs of children?
Support each individual child's self-esteem and pride in their family, community, and linguistic heritage.

Utilise the linguistic and cultural skills, as well as unique talents and knowledge of individual staff and families.
5. As a childcare manager, how do you monitor the centre environment for discriminatory practices?
Ensure that appropriate support, advice and resources are provided to staff in order to meet the needs of the families of children with special rights.
Provide opportunities for ongoing professional development that focuses on theory and practice in anti-bias, social justice and diversity.
Whenever possible qualified staff are employed to reflect equity in gender, sexuality and (dis)ability, and the cultural and social mix of the community.
Provide staff and resources to support the successful implementation of children’s services programs that honour diversity and reflect anti-bias.
Funds are provided to purchase appropriate materials/resources to support a program that honours diversity and reflects anti-bias.
