Scenario: No Doors On Toilet
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2017 5:16 pm
Hi I Have the following question for my assignment and I am having a hard time answering it. Could you please help
1. You have observed that a 3 year old child in your care keeps wetting themselves, despite the parent telling you on enrolment that their child is toilet trained. After several days you decide to speak to the child’s parent about this issue. At this point she reveals that the reason her child is not going to the toilet is because there are no toilet doors on the toilet cubicles. This is because in their country (Iran) it is considered very shameful to go to the toilet where others’ can see you.
How would you sensitively approach this issue?
Only thing I can think of is when talking to the mother is ask what she would like us to do due to duty of care and the centre may not have a inclosed toilet in the room.
