The question asks how to make sure new and relief staff know where and to supervise children within the environment. For example:

- you could have a layout plan of the indoor/outdoor environment and highlight which areas staff need to be in order to supervise

- you could have a notice in the staff room and in each room on supervision.

-each room leader can talk to new staff on arrival about supervision requirements.

Hope this helps,

Paz lorina can you tell me is this right answer for my question??

Document a supervision plan and strategies for both the indoor and outdoor areas. This will assist educators to position themselves effectively for supervising the children’s play. They will take into consideration the layout of the premises and grounds, any higher risk activities, the presence of any animals, the location of activities and the location of bathroom and nappy change facilities. • Inform new and relief educators about supervision arrangements and what is required of them in relation to supervising children. • Regularly review the supervision plan and strategies to evaluate the effectiveness of the plan and its implementation by educators. The supervision plan and strategies will be displayed for families in all rooms and in the outdoor area. • Seek to ensure that two educators are present/ within view when working with children and when supporting children with toileting/hygiene routines. • Arrange the education and care environment to maximise the ability of educators to supervise all areas accessible to children. Particular focus will be on gates, the fence line and doors during arrival and departure times. • Be aware of the importance of communicating with each other about their location within the environment.
Ensure that correct child: educator ratios are maintained throughout the education and care environment. All children will be in sight or hearing of educators at all times. No child will be left alone while eating or at nappy change and toileting times. • Supervise children during rest periods. Children will be positioned and supervised according to the Safe Sleep & Rest Times Policy. • Ensure that hazardous equipment, machinery, and chemicals are inaccessible to children. • Ensure that supervision arrangements are respectful and that interactions with children are meaningful. Educators will encourage children’s independence while respecting individual abilities and needs. • Scan the environment while interacting with individuals or small groups. Educators will position themselves to maximise their view of the environment and the children’s play. • Implement consistent supervision strategies and not perform other duties while responsible for the supervision of children.
