Hi all !

Just after some feedback whether I am on the right track with my answers before I show them to my trainer this week.

The subject is Community engagement - Assessment Task 3

3.1 Reflect on your role as an educator and list the members of the local community you could engage or form relationships with.
- families involved in community garden across from service
- council workers frequently in the park next to service
-local general practitioners
- local fire department/police department
- local shop owners

3.2 Suggest 2 ways you could build partnerships with the members of the community you have listed above.
-regular communication with members of community - face to face meetings, phone calls etc
-attend meetings held by community members in community garden
- invite local GP, fire person, police person, shop owner to the service

3.3 Refer to EYLF, LO 2, and reflect on how promoting a sense of community within the service benefits children.
promoting a positive sense of community within ECEC services promotes the wellbeing of children, families and staff
It also contributes to protecting against mental health difficulties in children by creating a positive climate, connectedness, inclusivity, positive relationships and collaboration in ECEC services.


Assessment Task 4
Referring to NQS 6.3 , reflect on your role as an educator and suggest how you can provide information about community services and resources to families and parents.
-become familiar with local community services
-include a small table at reception or front of the service, organised with information brouchers and booklets relevant to local community services.


Any criticisms are greatly appreciated!
Thank you

You could also include principal/teachers from the local schools, local library etc.

Add a notice board for parents with local community events etc.

The rest of your responses are good!
