Is anybody able to help me with these questions:

1. What are some legal and ethical considerations for people in child care services?
2. How they are applied to organisations?.
3. How these impact individual workers?
4. The consequences of breaches?

for the following:
informed consent
mandatory reporting
practitioner/client boundaries
privacy, confidentiality and disclosure
policy frameworks
records management
industrial relations legislation relevant to employment conditions of role
work role boundaries – responsibilities and limitations

Where do I start????????

You should be able to find most of this in the National Regulations:

Example - Informed Consent

161 Authorisations to be kept in enrolment record

(1) The authorisations to be kept in the enrolment record for each child enrolled at an education and care service are—
(a) an authorisation, signed by a parent or a person named in the enrolment record as authorised to consent to the medical treatment of the child, for the approved provider, nominated supervisor or an educator to seek—
(i) medical treatment for the child from a registered medical practitioner, hospital or ambulance service; and

(ii) transportation of the child by an ambulance service; and

(b) if relevant, an authorisation given under regulation 102 for the education and care service to take the child on regular outings.

Hope this helps,
