CHCECE003 - Scenario: Progressive Meal Times
Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2015 12:05 pm
Hi I am having trouble finding the correct regulation:
Q)Case Study 3
You have recently commenced work in the two to three-year-old room at an early childhood education and care service. This service provides progressive meal times so that children can choose to eat when they are hungry, rather than according to a timetable. As part of this mealtime procedure, educators simply place food on a table and move away from the area. Children approach the table at their own leisure when they notice the snack or meal has been served. However you notice at times, not all children eat throughout the day, and they are not encouraged to eat by the educators.
You also notice during mealtimes educators stand to one side discussing personal matters until the children have finished eating. Yesterday, a two-year-old choked on a piece of meat and you were the only educator in the room who noticed.
1. Which part of the Regulations is being breached?
A)
Quality area 2 Children's health and safety
Standard 2.3 Each child is protected.
Element 2.3.1 Children are adequately supervised at all times.
Element 2.3.2 Every reasonable precaution is taken to protect children from harm and any hazard likely to cause injury.
Element 2.3.3 Plans to effectively manage incidents and emergencies are developed in consultation with relevant authorities, practised and implemented.
Element 2.3.4 Educators, co-ordinators and staff members are aware of their roles and responsibilities to respond to every child at risk of abuse or neglect.
