Providing a Child Safe Environment

All children have the right to experience quality education and care in an environment that promotes opportunities to thrive with adults who safeguard and advocate for their health, safety, security and wellbeing.

Sample Required Policies

Administration of First Aid

The First Aid Policy, strategies and practices are designed to support educators to ensure that ill or injured persons are stabilised and comforted until medical help intervenes, monitor ill or injured persons in the recovery stage, apply further first aid strategies if the condition does not improve, ensure that the environment is safe and that other persons are not in danger of becoming ill or injured.

Emergency and Evacuation

Emergency and evacuation situations in an education and care service can arise in a number of circumstances and for a variety of reasons. In the event of an emergency or evacuation situation, the safety and wellbeing of all staff, children, families and visitors to the centre
is paramount.

Privacy and Confidentiality

Our education and care service recognises and respects the importance of privacy and confidentiality as an individual right and a basis for building partnerships.

Delivery & Collection of Children

A duty of care exists at all times the child is attending a children’s service. In addition, the service has a duty of care to a child while he/she is on the service’s premises even if he/she hasn’t yet been signed into the service or has been signed out of the service, and is legally under the care and supervision of the parent/guardian.

Enrolment and Orientation

Enrolment and orientation procedures form the foundation for strong relationships between families and early education and care settings and promote a quality experience of education and care for children.

Incident, Injury, Trauma and Illness

The National Regulations require an accurate Incident, Injury, Trauma and Illness Report to be kept and stored confidentially until the child is 25 years old. Under the national legislation, an education and care service must record details in the Incident, Injury, Trauma and Illness Report.
