Questions

My service upholds the dignity and rights of each child to learn and grow in an environment that offers opportunities which reflect the holistic way children learn and grow in the wider world of family and community, experiencing responsive and reciprocal relationships with people, places and things. Children have the right to be provided with a safe and stable environment ensuring that the child receives the right needs and they are culturally appropriate. The dignity and rights of the child are upheld in my care by offering each child:
Dignity and respect as an individual child.
Opportunities to develop personality, talents, self-reliance and intellectual, social and physical abilities to their fullest potential.
Affirmation of their own culture, religion and language.
Equitable opportunities for full and active participation.
Opportunities for play as a vehicle for learning and for recreation.
Opportunities for rest and leisure.
Protection from physical and mental abuse or injury.
Access to a clean and protected natural environment.
2. When advocating for children who will we most commonly communicate with?
In most circumstances, mothers, fathers, family.
3. What steps would you take if you believed a child’s right or needs were not being met?
