Scenarios: Child Playing In Water and Hong Hanh Family

[ameera]

Case study 2
Imagine that you are an educator in a family day care setting. Briefly describe the actions you would need to take to exercise your duty of care to a 2 ½ year old child playing at the water trough in your backyard.
I would keep a close watch on him allowing him to play but making sure he doesn’t get wet or fall in water. Incase he gets wet I would need to get him a change of clothes.
Case study 7
A 2 year old girl, Hong Hanh, is about to start care at the education and care service where you work. It seems that no English is spoken at home by Hong Hanh or her family. You are having difficulty communicating with her parents about the enrolment process and cannot find out the necessary information to help Hong Hanh successfully transition into care prior to commencing care. What would you do and why?
I would try to get a translator for her . if not possible then I would request them to get a person who can speak English as the enrolment process is important and needs to be understood in depth.

Perhaps mention something about complying with policies regarding water safety etc.

I hope this helps

In regards to the second scenario you don't need to ask the family for a translator it's up to the service to provide this service for the family. I think that the Australian government offers free translators over the phone so this will also be a good option.

Hope this helps,
