[vawdon]

hi, currently completing my diploma in children services and need some assistance on the following question regarding a scenario, I have completed it all and ready to send it all off to be marked an finish my diploma, I'm just struggling with a few questions I have left as was unable to answer them.


Read all of the following information before commencing this task.

Assume you are a Certificate III educator employed at City Children’s Centre.
The Service
There are 20 full and part-time educators employed at the service (trainees, Cert. 3, Diploma & EC teachers)
There are 120 children enrolled at the services (4mths - 5yrs+)
The service operates 5 rooms
4mths - 18mths
18mths - 24mths
2yrs - 3yrs
3yrs - 4yrs
4yrs+
The families include low and middle-income earners
30% of families are from non-English speaking backgrounds – (70% of mothers in this group struggle with written English).
At a recent team meeting the Director asked the team to reflect on the service philosophy and how it is translated into workplace practices. During the meeting several ideas were discussed. The team was divided into sub-groups and each subgroup was assigned a task.
Your subgroup is required to identify how the philosophy reflects the following components of the National Quality Framework (NQS):
the National Quality Standards
the Regulations
and the ECA Code of Ethics (2016)
City Children’s Centre Philosophy
At City Children’s Centre we acknowledge the unique nature of every child and family. This uniqueness is embedded in a social and cultural context which is reflected in the values, beliefs and traditions of each family.
In partnership with families we nurture and support each child to reach his or her full potential.
Our service aims to:
a. acknowledge and celebrate individual and family social and cultural diversity and actively advocate on the behalf of the child and family where bias or discrimination occurs.
b. respect each family’s right to make choices in relation to child rearing.
c. provide experiences for children that enhances development and supports each child as competent life-long learners and problem-solvers.
d. promote self-confidence, effective communication, independence and resilience in all children.
e. provide an environment that nurtures relationships between children, families and educators.
f. provide an environment that supports sustainability and respect for the natural environment.
g. provide programs that are responsive to the needs of children and families and reflect best practice in relation to early childhood education and care.
Our Educators
Our organisation is also committed to supporting our educators to engage in ethical and professional practices at all times and participate in continuous improvement and professional learning.

Scenario: Part 1
Each member of the team has now completed this task (working on one of the aims). The Director asks each team member to reflect on, and briefly share with the team how the task has overall helped them to better understand the legal and ethical responsibilities of educators.

Scenario: Part 2
During the discussion, the group who were working on philosophy aim e. have discovered their work practices are not meeting national quality standard 6.1.3 or regulation 76 for mothers who struggle with written English as families are given lengthy documents in written English.
