Dignity & Rights Of Child: Educator Training.pdf

To maintain the dignity and rights of the child, the service must ensure compliance with the Law and Regulations. The Nominated Supervisor must conduct a compliance test with educators to check their knowledge. The test includes questions such as whether the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is mentioned in the Law or Regulations, and whether there are Regulations that cover children's dignity and rights. The correct answers are that the Convention is discussed in the Guide to the NQS under element 5.1.2, and that Regulation 155 Interactions with children covers children's dignity and rights. The Regulation states that educators must encourage children to express themselves, allow them to undertake experiences that develop self-reliance and self-esteem, maintain their dignity and rights, give them positive guidance and encouragement, and consider their family and cultural values, age, and physical and intellectual development and abilities. The Nominated Supervisor must also train educators who fail to meet the regulations. The service must also review the points from the Law and make themselves familiar with them, conduct the compliance test, watch an online video explaining how to maintain the dignity and rights of the child, add to their folder the daily planner to document and show the assessor how they are working with educators, guide their educators to ensure they are at the meeting level, explore the exceeding themes, and work with their Nominated Supervisor to edit the QIP (SAT for NSW) template to ensure it is reflecting their service's practices.
