As an Educator, you are involved in the day to day running of the service. At times you are also witnessing to the services breach of regulations, staff misconduct or aspects of the service that you believe is unethical.
The following article "How To Make A Formal Complaint Against An Early Childhood Service" will give you information on the making a formal complaint and the investigation process involved.
Unfortunately, Early Childhood Services that are failing to meet requirements are still operating and it's up to the Educators working within the service to stand up for what's right and to make a complaint. Families trust us with their children and are likely to be unaware of what is happening behind the scenes. I am providing information on how you can make a formal complaint about a service so you understand the necessary steps involved. It's not something you should be worried about doing or worried about losing your job over (there are many jobs available). It needs to be done before something unavoidable happens and you end up getting caught in the crossfire.
