TITLE - Children's Health and Safety

Case Study 3: Organisational WHS

Scenario 1: You are an early childhood educator working in Sparkling Stars Childcare Centre. To ensure everyone's safety, Sparkling Stars requires all its employees to undergo a self-assessment exercise to help them understand their own levels of stress and fatigue.

Task: Using your own experience as an early childhood educator in your vocational workplace, answer the questionnaire below to reflect on your own levels of stress and fatigue at work:

Job demands and working conditions:

Do you have enough time to get your job done properly?

Are you exposed to unfavourable physical conditions in your work?

Participation and control:

Can you choose your own work methods, pace, and/or order?

Can you decide yourself when to take a break?

Are you involved in decision making?

Are there regular meetings to discuss work?

Can you improve any unfavourable physical loads in your work?

Interpersonal relationships:

Do you receive support from your supervisor and/or colleagues?

Are you isolated from others during work?

Scenario 2: Letting the designated person know your concerns relevant to work-related stress and fatigue is an essential step in resolving potential safe work issues in the future.

Task: Review the relevant workplace procedures in the link provided below and follow the outlined reporting process.

Scenario 3: Maintaining currency of relevant safe work practices in the workplace is another excellent way of ensuring your own safety. As such, Sparkling Stars makes sure that all employees maintain their currency by conducting an annual safe work practice currency check among all its employees.

Task: Identify ways to maintain currency of safe work practices by listing your strategies according to the different categories and contexts outlined below.

Scenario 4: As an early childhood educator, it is also your responsibility to raise the children's awareness of safety. The centre ensures that there are enough programs and activities that promote safety awareness among the children in the centre.

Task: Create a poster to help promote safety awareness among the children in the centre. You may choose any topic or theme relevant to child safety or promoting safety awareness among children. Below are some examples of topics or themes you may use for your poster:

Stranger danger

Safety in the kitchen

Safety in the bathroom

Safety in the park

Safety in the beach

Safety in crossing streets

Handwashing

Case Study 4: Ensure the health and safety of children

Scenario 1: The children at the centre have had a morning play activity. It finishes close to 8:30AM, and as the children prepare for the next activity, you notice that Sophie is sneezing and coughing.

An assistant educator also sees this and separates her from the rest of the group. You join them and see that Sophie is holding a stuffed toy that is not from the centre. Upon closer inspection, you see that it is dusty, leading you to believe that this has triggered her allergies.

You check her records to review what kind of medication must be administered for this situation. Provided below is a link to Sophie's authorisation to administer medication form.

Task: Record yourself administering the right medication to Sophie. The demonstration must begin with you discussing Sophie's situation with your co-educator. Assume that you have already separated Sophie from the other children. She may be in the same room while the discussion takes place.

Case Study 5: Anaphylaxis

Scenario 1: It is 2:00PM and the children at the centre are enjoying a break before their next session. Some kids are playing, while others are having snacks. Just as the break is about to end, you see that Billy has left his friends in the dining area and has gone to the play area. After a few steps, Billy begins to wheeze and gasp for air. You approach him immediately and see that he is pale and his face is slightly swollen. You scan the area and see that he's dropped a granola bar on the floor. You check its label and find that it contains peanuts.

You administer the necessary medication at 2:05PM, ensuring that you follow applicable policies and procedures. Billy's condition improves, but he is still taken to the hospital as a precaution. He is accompanied by an assistant educator, who give you the following details afterwards:

Billy's emergency contact arrived at the hospital around five (5) minutes after they did.

He was attended to by Dr. Margaret Thornton. He was placed under observation, then cleared for release within the same day.

Billy said that he'd taken the granola bar from one of his friends' snack trays because it looked tasty. He hadn't realised that it had nuts in it.

You have been tasked with filling out documentation regarding this incident.

Task 1: Complete the relevant forms to document the incident. Use the information provided above to help you complete the required form. If certain information was not provided by the scenario, you have the liberty to create details regarding the case. However, ensure that they do not contradict provided information and are realistic to the situation.

Review the centre's Incident, Accident and Trauma Policy to ensure you are compliant with the centre's relevant workplace policies and procedures.

Task 2: Apply the risk management plan for Billy by completing the checklist provided in the link below. Complete the column "Detail how this will be implemented and any additional strategies" by answering according to the organisational risk-management strategies from your relevant work experience in childcare centres/vocational work experience.
