CHCCS400C - Scenario: Mara Escapes From FDC Through Open Gate
Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2014 4:48 pm
i HAVE THIS SCENARIO AND SEVERAL QUESTIONS WHICH I HAVE ALMOST COMPLETE JUST STUCK ON A COUPLE. And I need to hand this in tomorrow.
Eleni has been an educator with the Family Day Care Scheme for two years. She is always very careful about safety, but one day her school-aged children forgot to close the gate when they left for school. A few minutes later, 3 year old Mara ‘escaped’ from the yard and went out on the road. She was almost hit by a car, then she fell and hit her head on the gutter. She required ambulance attention. Mara’s parents were very angry about the injury and are discussing legal action. Eleni, the educator, is understandably distressed about the situation, particularly seeing she is always so careful about keeping the environment in good repair, and supervises the children closely all the time. She had been watching Mara, along with the other three children in her care, but was just not quick enough to notice the open gate and Mara’s quick exit.
This is the question I am stuck on:
2. List 3 key statutory and regulatory requirements relevant to this situation. (E.g. refer to some or all of the following: Code of Ethics, Duty of Care, possible risks of harm, legislation and regulations).
and::::
What should Eleni do next to demonstrate that she is accountable for her actions and to ensure this doesn’t happen in the future? (make sure you discuss regulatory requirements regarding children’s safety)
PLEASE PLEASE ANYONE ON LINE THAT CAN ASSIST IN THIS
GREATLY APPREICATED
