3. As a child care worker, you will need to participate in regular emergency and evacuation drills.
a) List the emergency procedures in place at your service. (Guidance – If you are not currently working at a child care service, list the procedures that could be in place at Sparkling Stars Childcare Centre)
b) Describe the fire evacuation procedure at the centre.
c) Provide a brief description of how you could discuss fire evacuations with children.


a)  Following are the emergency procedures -: * Lockdown procedure. *Lockout procedure .* Evacuation procedure
b)      Evacuation procedure.
IN CASE OF FIRE – Blow the air horn/whistle to alert all children, staff, visitors and parents of the emergency.
Remain calm and do not give sense of panic, reassure the children and alert the fire brigade if any children or staff are missing.
The Educator (Group Leader) in each room with help from assistants shall:
• Immediately move all children from the building of the emergency to the external evacuation assembly point (see Evacuation map for assembly point), using evacuation cots for babies and toddlers, taking attendance sheets/ class roll, gate keys and first aid kit, and collect any emergency medication e.g. Epi Pens, asthma medication, etc for children in attendance.
• DO NOT collect children’s belongings or put shoes on etc, our priority is to exit the building with the children safely.
• Staffs are to check all areas of the room are empty and close all windows and doors (including bathrooms, cot rooms, art rooms, storerooms) as you leave.
• Ensure that family members and visitors within your room follow your direction to evacuate with your group to the designated assembly point.
• Once assembled at the external evacuation assembly point, mark off each child on attendance sheet,
• Report numbers of children to Nominated Supervisor (Director).
• Ensure all staff are accounted for/ assist other rooms where possible. Any staff that are on breaks, programming or study need to return to their rooms ASAP and assist staff to evacuate children.
The Nominated Supervisor (Director) will:
• Call the fire brigade”000”
• Take mobile phone and centre’s emergency contacts for all children.
• Check numbers of children and staff in attendance and inform parents of the emergency. If a drill evacuation, parents to be notified on collection of the child.
• The Nominated Supervisor will take further instruction from the Fire Department and inform staff when it is safe to re-enter the building.
An Emergency Kit should be prepared for staff to take during the evacuation. It should include:
• first aid kit, torch
• note pad and pens
• scissors, whistle
• mobile telephone
• spare keys to the building
• daily attendance records of children, staff and visitors,
• Emergency contact details (telephone numbers) for parents
• Water, bottles, nappies, wipes etc.
• Spare clothes
• telephone number of nominated person for emergency contact for staff,
• telephone number for management, owner, and licensing authority.

I think the question is to list incidents not the procedure. something like gas leaking, blackout, water faults,stray animals, power failure and park strangers.
