Information on trauma-informed care
All traumas must be carefully reported and taken care of in the best way to help and ensure a safe place.
The best way is:
- Observe and talk with the manager and team leader to take care of the child
- Fill the form
- Talk to parents and/or responsible people
- If you find it necessary to inform the department.
Overview of the legal system and how it affects the educators job role in particular:
o
Reporting protocols
If you believe that a child may have been harmed, or has suffered trauma or is at risk in the near future, it is important to remember that:
- We need to always be attentive to children, and always observing that there is some warning sign.
-Observe how the child expresses himself, with drawings, words, actions and observe if he has had any changes
- Creates a secure connection with the child so the child can always talk to you about what's going on.
- Whenever necessary, seek help from specialists.
o
Responses to reporting
Whenever there is a complaint about child abuse, all data and facts are
kept confidential and all information is protected. The contact is made by an officer who will perform the service and will collect the information and find the best way.
The necessary information is:
- The name, age and address of the child
- What made you file the complaint, what did you see, what did you observe.
- Analyse whether there is an immediate risk to the child
o
Relevant organisations policies that impact reporting
-
Child protection policies and procedure
-
Incident, injury, trauma and illness policies
Relevant state/territory requirements and processes for notifying suspected abuse and reporting process
QLQ requirements: The Child Protection Act 1999 requires certain professionals, referred to as “mandatory reporters”, to make a report to Child Safety, if they form a reasonable suspicion that a child has suffered, is suffering or is at an unacceptable risk of suffering significant harm caused by physical or sexual abuse, and may not have a parent able and willing to protect them.
Mandatory reporters are:
-
Teachers
-
Doctors
-
Registered nurses

Police officers with child protection responsibilities

A person performing a child advocate function under the public guardian act 2014

Early childhood education and care professionals
Statutory requirements relating to the educators job role
The National Quality Framework is responsible for and sets minimum qualification requirements for all early childhood education and care services.
The Australian Education and Care Authority for Children (ACECQA) is the national authority that oversees the requirements, including qualification requirements, set out in the National Quality Framework.
OSHC requirements for school age children:
- Must comply with the rule of a minimum ratio of educator per child depending on age, it can be 1 educator for 11 children or 1 educator for 4 children.
- At least one educator must possess a Diploma level qualification or higher.
Must be in service:
* at least 7 hours and 15 minutes of the time that education and care is being provided, or
* if provided for more than 7 hours and 15 minutes on that day, at all times when education and care is being provided.
Services policy and procedures in regards to child protection and the educators responsibilities in regards to the policy
- Policy statement
The Child Protection Service has an obligation to ensure that all educators and
anyone working with children is aware of the Child Protection Act, and that these professionals can act in the protection of children.

Different dynamics of abuse as they may apply to age, gender, disability, culture and sexuality
-Age: Babies and young children are more vulnerable to abuse when they are unaccompanied, or do not have a responsible person, rates of sexual abuse for example are higher in children who are already in puberty or adolescence.
- Gender: Research shows that most of the time the violence is the girls as assaulted and the boys/men as aggressors, but this does not rule out the fact that boys also suffer violence and sexual abuse.
- Disability: Many children with disabilities are abused because they are more vulnerable and are often abandoned by their caregivers, and there are cases where the caregiver himself abuses and violates this child.
-Culture: an example is abuses within poor communities, where they have little knowledge and access to education, and lack of health awareness. But there is also the fact that some cultures consider these abusive actions and behaviours as acceptable. - Sexuality: Some research shows that sexual behavior in children has increased, it usually happens very early and interferes with children's development and causes serious emotional damage.
