Scenario: Larry - Impact Of The Service
Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2015 4:13 pm
Hi Guys, I have completed my NL01 form in relation to Larry Rainbow, and with it I provided every detail I could possibly note.
This was my completed detailed Observation, but my teacher sent it back to be resubmitted, she has stated that: I have not mentioned how this has impacted the operation of the service or what action the Approved Provider has taken to manage the risk. An example on both would help me get started, please if u can help, TIA
Larry Rainbow attends skittles Family Day-care 5 days a week. After reading the Observation report on Larry Rainbow & having a meeting with Larry’s educator, it has come to my attention there are suspicious signs of Larry being Neglected and possibly a victim of physical abuse at home. Larry’s mother brings him to the centre in clothes that Larry has worn for the last 4-5 days he has attended the centre. They are smelly and show signs of previous day’s activities. Larry’s educator attempted to change Larry on the 30/06/215 and found that Larry doesn’t have any spare clothes in his bag. The Educator then used the centres spare clothes to change Larry and upon doing this she found multiple bruises on his right upper thigh and a large bruise on his left ribs. This was noted in the Educators Observation Report and brought to my attention. On the 29/06/2015, Larry’s Educator Joined Larry and his friends at the Morning Tea Table and started discussing with the group of children “what they did when they go home”. After the children shared their stories, Larry said: “He never has to have baths, he just plays in his room and sometimes gets to choose biscuits for dinner”. No further questions were asked from the Educator until Larry was by himself. His Educator asked Larry: “What sorts of things he has for dinner?” Larry’s response: He repeats what he said earlier at the morning tea table and adds “that he gets to have spaghettis sometimes which is his favourite, but mostly has sandwiches and sometimes gets left over takeaway if mummy doesn’t eat it all”.
Larry is always the first at the lunch table and says: “he is always hungry”, he has little food packed in his lunchbox to last the day, the Educators have approached the parents on many occasions suggesting to pack extra food to satisfy the minimum amount of nutrition and satisfy Larry’s hunger. Despite the educator’s attempts of asking for extra food, Larry is still having limited amount of food packed. The Educator has also noticed on many occasions Larry’s mother has dropped Larry off without having any breakfast, upon doing this his mother has said “there was no time for breakfast and he can wait for morning tea which is not too far away”. So, on the morning of 30/06/2015, Larry came to the centre without breakfast so the Educator gave Larry some toast, while Larry was eating his toast, he complains his right wrist was sore. The Educator believed it to be broken due to colouring and severe swelling. Once again this was noted in the Observation Report by the Educator and brought to my attention. The Educator says: Larry loves Painting and craft, but has trouble remembering colours. He has a pet fish at home called: Robert, is a single child, lives in a unit and his mother is unemployed and Larry’s Day-care fees are 4 weeks in arrears.
