CHCECE019 - Priorities Used To Determine Duration Of A Rating

[layla007]

Hi, New to the site but need help with this question, I have read through the ACECQA Guide to Assessment and Rating for Services and lots of other online information but am still stuck.

Q - What five priorities are used to determine the duration of a rating and assessment visit?

Can someone point me in the right direction to find the information to answer this question please?
Thank you

I finally found it:

How long will a rating and assessment visit take?

The duration of the rating and assessment visit will depend on a number of priorities, including:

— the approved capacity of the service
— the type of service—family day care or centre-based
service
— the number of educators at the service
— the number of different age groups at the service
— whether the service is session based, such as before and after school, or provides whole-day care.

The final timeframe will be a decision for the regulatory authority. All services can expect that the authorised officer undertaking the assessment will have an opening and closing discussion with the person in day-to-day charge of the service, view the entire service, observe each age group catered for (for example, birth to 24 months; 25 to 36
months) or a number of sessions, observe interactions inside and outside, talk to educators and review some documentation.
