85 years old (Regulation 183 of the National Regulations) The National Regulations specify that a service’s philosophy must be reviewed every 12 months at the same time as the Quality Improvement Plan is reviewed. False. The National Regulations do not specify how often a philosophy must be reviewed. It is suggested that educators, families and children are involved in the development and review of the service’s philosophy statement. Regular review of the philosophy against new research, against the approved learning frameworks, and against families’ views and expectations will support the service’s goals for continuous improvement. A service’s records must be kept at the premises in hard copy form. False.
Records may be kept in hard copy or electronic form, provided that they are accessible as required (Regulation 181 –
184 of the National Regulations). How does your service’s philosophy inform and guide your practice? Who is involved in its development? When was the last time it was reviewed? In what ways do you learn and develop as a professional? Can you provide an example of a time when new knowledge or an experience has influenced you or your practice? What forms of leadership operate within your service? How does this contribute to positive outcomes for children and families? A service’s Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) must contain a statement of the service’s philosophy?

Question: Where should families direct their complaints regarding an education and care service?

The Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) must be visible from the entrance of an education and care service. False. The QIP does need to be displayed, but not necessarily at the entrance. The QIP must be available at the service to be accessed by families and regulatory authorities upon request (Regulation 31 of the National Regulations).
Does your service use electronic programs or software platforms for documenting and programming? What are some of the benefits and/or disadvantages of this form of programming? Question:
Who can be appointed as an educational leader? Answer:
The National Law and Regulations are not prescriptive about the qualifications, experience or skills required in order to be appointed as educational leader. This flexibility allows approved providers to choose the person in the service best suited to take on this role. Using complaints from families is a good starting point for reflection on practice and continuous improvement. Share an example of when your service has (or should have) changed a practice, program or policy based on a complaint. What self-assessment policies and procedures does your service currently have in place for educators and staff? How do opportunities for self-assessment influence future professional development and training opportunities? The performance of co-ordinators, educators and staff members needs to be regularly evaluated and individual plans developed to support improvement. True.
