[Ebony 27]

I have been stuck on these 2 questions for days now,
CHCECE013 Question 1 : Investigate the privacy legislation that applies to the collection , recording and dissemination of information about children in care, summaries you findings

CHCEC013 Question 2: why do you think its important to support the accuracy of your observations with further evidence? what are some examples of other evidence you could use.

Thanks
