1ATopic 1 Supporting each child’s health needsCommunicating health needsEach organisation must communicate well withfamilies about their health needs. Organisationsmay have different expectations regardingeducator responsibilities. Some expect alleducators to communicate details of the child’sneeds, whereas others allocate this responsibilityto a particular educator.All information communicated must be treated asconfidential, whether it is written or verbal. Wheninformation is confidential, it means it is secret orprivate.Your organisation will have policies and procedures that relate to maintaining theconfidentiality of information. These are written according to the following regulationsand standards.DocumentEducation and Care ServicesNational RegulationsExample of how it relates tosharing information with ional-regulationsRegulations 181–184 — Confidentialityand storage of recordsXX Regulation 90 — Medical conditionspolicy: parents must provide amedical management plan, and a riskminimisation plan needs to be developedin consultation with parentsNational Quality Standard rkresourcekitXXQuality area 6 — Collaborativepartnerships enhance children’sinclusion, learning and wellbeingXX Quality area 7, Element 7.1.2 — Systemsare in place to manage risk and enablethe effective management and operationof a quality serviceYour organisation’s guidelines should advise you to never discuss private information.This includes details of families, staff and others; for example, their:medical support and health needsXX phone numberXX addressXX family values or beliefsXX issuesXX preferencesXX developmental informationXX financial situation.XXYou must always seek permission before passing on information that has been sharedwith you. Remember to ask the person you talk with if you can tell relevant people priorto finishing any discussion.3

CHCECE002 ENSURE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF CHILDRENAdministering medicationYour service may have strategies for reminding staff about medication that is to beadministered. This strategy might use a timer, whiteboard or other idea. Be sure themethod observes the confidentiality of the child, as it is not appropriate to publiclydisplay information that connects children to medication or illness. One exception tothis is a child who has a severe allergy (such as the risk of anaphylactic shock), asthis child’s condition needs to be clearly communicated to everyone. Be aware thatparental permission is required in this situation.ExampleMedication documentation begins with the development of appropriate recordingmaterials or forms based on regulations and standards. This is often a medicationsheet that may be in a standard format or specific to the organisation.Medical documentationPrue is a child at the centre who has an ear infection.

2ATopic 2 Providing opportunities to meet each child’s needsProviding opportunities for rest,sleep and relaxationRest and sleep are an important part of a child’s routine.Every child is different; the age at which their needs changeis individual. Children will move from needing daily sleeps tohaving a rest period or even just a quiet play to wind down.Their needs will change over time. Both the Education andCare Services National Regulations and the National QualityStandard (NQS) acknowledge the different needs of children.The standards set out what you should be encouragingchildren to do.Regulation 81 of theEducation and CareServices NationalRegulationsTake reasonable steps to ensure the sleep and restneeds of children are met, with regard to the children’sages, stages of development and individual needs.Element 2.1.1 of theNQSConcept: Wellbeing and comfortDescriptor: Each child’s wellbeing and comfort isprovided for, including appropriate opportunities tomeet each child’s need for sleep, rest and relaxation.Providing high-quality rest, sleep and relaxation time for children in your care requiresyou to:share rest and sleep information with parentsXX meet individual needs for rest and sleepXX provide healthy rest and sleep environmentsXX support children to develop skills to assess their rest and sleep needsXX provide quiet activities for children who do not need to sleep during the day.XXSharing rest and sleep informationSo that you can provide for children’s individual needs, you need to share informationabout rest and sleep with parents. This sharing of information will be two-way:Parents can provide you with important information about settling their child, thequantity of rest/sleep required and other relevant needs.XX In turn, you should give feedback to parents about: the routines you provide the options for sleep preparation, timing and activities – including rest andrelaxation time how their child participates in rest and sleep timesthroughout the day.XXv 0013Watch this video about sharing children’s sleep routines withparents.19

Topic 3In this topic you will learnabout:3A Maintaining hygiene andcleanliness3B Recognising andresponding to illnessImplementing effectivehygiene and healthpracticesYou need to understand how infection spreads and whatyour role is to ensure you protect yourself and othersusing good hygiene and health practices. Infection isan ongoing concern whenever people are together insmall areas for large amounts of time. Infection occursas a result of coming into contact with germs that causedisease. Cleaning and disinfecting are vital steps forinfection control.A prompt response to a suspected illness reduces therisk of infection spreading, and offers support to a childand their family. While you are not expected to providemedical advice, you must be aware of the symptoms andsigns that indicate a child is unwell. You must also beprepared to take action if this occurs.31

CHCECE002 ENSURE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF CHILDRENHow infection spreadsIt is common for children commencing care to pick up mild infectious diseases whiletheir immune systems adjust to the situation. For example, infants attending anorganisation that implements appropriate hygiene practices are expected to contractup to eight illnesses in their first year of care. If your service hygiene practices areless strict, this number may increase. After a time, when children become exposed tocommon infections, their immune systems are better able to resist these.Infection spreads in four stages.1. A person or animal carries the infection intothe environment and it is deposited by:faecal–oral spreadXX droplet spreadXX contact spreadXX blood and bodily fluid spread.XX2. The bacteria, germ, virus or parasitethat causes the infection survives in theenvironment.3. The bacteria, germ, virus or parasite thatcauses the infection makes contact withanother person.4. This contact person contracts the infectionand it multiplies in their body.Faecal–oral spreadFaecal–oral spread is the transfer of germs that are present in faeces or bowelmovements onto the hands, fingers or surfaces and then onto other people. Theinfections most likely to circulate through faecal–oral spread include:gastroenteritis (gastro) – diarrhoea and/or vomitingXX hepatitis AXX threadworm.XXDiarrhoea is more common in children who attend an education and care service thanin children who are cared for at home.34 ONE WORLD FOR CHILDREN PTY LTD

CHCECE002 ENSURE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF CHILDRENThe following everyday products can also be used for disinfecting.Environmentallyfriendly productHow to use itEucalyptus oilXXHydrogen peroxideXXUse a solution of 50ml eucalyptus oil to 1 litre of water.XX Shake well before use.XX Store in an opaque container in a cool place.Mix 30ml of hydrogen peroxide with 1 litre of water. Thissolution ensures a full range of bacteria is killed.XX Clean the surface with a vinegar solution, thenimmediately spray with the hydrogen peroxide solutionand leave to dry.XX Store in a dark-coloured bottle.Cleaning and infection controlStudies have shown that children and adults are 50 per cent less likely to contractdiarrhoea if their hand-washing, cleaning and disinfecting practices are adequate.Obviously, the disinfection method chosen should suit the equipment, item andenvironment. For example, you should only use chemicals when children are not closeby. Children can inhale chemicals that are sprayed on surfaces close to them or theirskin may make contact with these chemicals.Your organisational policies and procedures should take these types of health risksinto consideration. You regularly need to clean and disinfect the following:toys and equipmentXX nappy-change and toileting areasXX beds and beddingXX food preparation, handling and storage areas.XXCleaning toys and equipmentv 0015Watch this video about cleaning and disinfection techniques.Toys need to be continually cleaned and disinfected, particularly if they come intocontact with children’s mouths. If possible, you should clean and disinfect any toy seenbeing mouthed before another child places it in their own mouth.In an infant room, mouthing is common due to the children’s need to explore usingtheir senses; it is a good idea to have two sets of toys and to rotate these, so that whileyou clean and disinfect one set, the children play with the other set.Children’s play clothes also require regular washing. Water play equipment must alsobe attended to daily, as troughs quickly become dirty by many unhygienic hands.Clean, fresh equipment and water should be provided each day.42 ONE WORLD FOR CHILDREN PTY LTD

Topic 3 Implementing effective hygiene and health practicesPractice task 5Access the National Quality Standard and the approved learning frameworks from theACECQA website: http://aspirelr.link/explaining-nqf1. Read organisational policies and procedures regarding hygiene practices.Element 2.1.2 of the NQS – Health practices and procedures – requires that‘effective illness and injury management and hygiene practices are promoted andimplemented’. How do the organisational policies and procedures promote andimplement hygiene practices?2. Read the EYLF or MTOP sub-category ‘Children take increasing responsibility fortheir own health and physical wellbeing’. What is one action you could take toincrease the health responsibilities of a child?3. Read the case study, then answer the questions that follow.Case studyXander uses the toilet and goes to the basin to wash his hands. He reaches thetap, with some difficulty, and turns on the water. The soap is too far for him toreach, so he doesn’t use it. The water runs down Xander’s arms to his elbows anddrenches his shirt sleeves. The educator is very cross with Xander for getting wet.a. How could you change the environment to allow Xander to wash his handsmore effectively?45

Topic 3 Implementing effective hygiene and health practicesEncourage parents to tell you when anyone in their family is sick. If someone in thefamily is ill, watch for signs of illness in the child. If you touch a child who is sick, washyour hands before touching other children or equipment.Reporting responsibilities for illnessWhen any child has contracted an infectious disease, it is your responsibility to adviseparents of other children who attend the service. By advising parents, you are assistingthem to take notice of symptoms that may affect their child and to take precautions toprevent further infection.When notifying parents, you must provide them with details of the infectious disease,such as:what symptoms may be noticedXX what to do if symptoms are displayedXX how long the child must be excluded from care.XXAn exclusion time is the time that a person with an infectious disease is contagiousand should therefore stay away. When reporting an illness, ensure the identity of thechild with the disease is kept confidential.ExampleThe following is an example of a notice informing parents of illness in the organisation.This should be placed on a noticeboard, at an entry point or provided to parentsindividually.Notice of illnessThere have been two cases of chickenpox reported in theservice.If you suspect your child has chickenpox, they must betaken to a doctor for diagnosis.Symptoms: Fever, runny nose, cough, tiredness, itchyspots and/or rashTreatment: Follow your doctor’s guidelinesWarnings: Pregnant women should avoid contact withchickenpox.To control the spread of infection you must keep the child away from the service untilall blisters have crusted or formed scabs and the child feels well.You must tell the service staff if your child shows symptoms of chickenpox.Illness reportsIt is recommended that you complete an illness report that outlines when you noticechanges or make observations regarding a child’s health. This provides a record ofyour actions and observations, and allows you to provide parents with a copy of thedetails to inform a medical practitioner if required.Most services have guidelines in place that clearly indicate when you need to contacta child’s parents. For example, if a young child experiences a bout of vomiting ordiarrhoea, but looks quite well, it may be a random response. However, if the childis feeling unwell, or is listless and has a bout of diarrhoea or vomiting, you mustimplement infectious disease practices immediately.49

If you were providing close supervision at the activity you chose, and a reliefeducator came to relieve you for your morning tea break, what would you need totell the educator and any other educators in the room?71

CHCECE002 ENSURE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF CHILDRENManaging hazards and risksYou need to determine which situations are most likely to cause injury or harm topeople in the environment and how serious this is likely to be. The situations likelyto cause the most or the worst injuries or harm to health should have high priority. Ifsomething is high-risk, do something about it immediately.If the likelihood of the hazard occurring is low, but the consequence is death or seriousinjury, this is still a high risk and should be given high priority.ExampleAll hazards should be assessed and reported, and the level of risk attached to themshould be highlighted to determine the priority in which they are controlled. The wayyou report the risks is determined by organisational policies and procedures.Risk assessmentMacy Brown wants to take the four-year-old children on an excursion to thelibrary.
