▪ TASK SUMMARY:
You must read each case study and answer the questions.
If your assessor marks any of your answers as incorrect, they will talk to you about resubmission. You will
need to do one of the following:
Answer the questions that were incorrect in writing.
Answer the questions that were incorrect verbally.
▪ INSTRUCTIONS:
Read through the cases studies provided and answer the questions that follow.
In this situation, what would you do and why? Explain all the steps you would take in this situation.
First of all, I would give a call to Allison’s mom and make sure he’s here to pick Allison.
Harry’s service has a policy that all children must wear wide-brimmed hats when playing outside.
It was Harry’s birthday yesterday and his father gave him a New York Yankees baseball cap, which he
brought him back from his business trip to the USA.
Harry arrives proudly wearing his cap. He tells you all about the New York Yankees and his favourite
players.
When it comes time for outside play, he refuses to replace his cap with his wide-brimmed hat.
What could you do so that Harry is suitably dressed for outside play, but still respect his feelings? Suggest two
options.
1. I would let him wear his hat unless he was in contact with direct sun
2. I would allure him to give chocolates if he could put on wide hats and immediately put on his hat after
playing outside
Rebecca has been unwell with stomach pains and several bouts of diarrhoea. She has vomited over herself
and on the bathroom floor.
Rebecca’s mother has been contacted but she cannot get to the service to pick her up for another hour.
There is no one else to pick her up in the meantime.
Rebecca is the third child to show these symptoms – two children have stayed at home today with nausea
and diarrhoea.
a) What are three things that must be done while helping Rebecca to get cleaned up and comfortable
to minimise the spread of infection?
2. She must be given proper guidance and made her feel comfortable
3. She must be told her mother is on her way and will take no longer for her to get home
b) What are three things that educators must ensure with the other children in the service to prevent
spread of infection?
c) What should the service advise families to do to minimise the spread of infection in the service?
Suggest at least three things.
3. Use of sanitiser
d) It has been confirmed by Rebecca’s doctor that she has viral gastroenteritis. Look up the NHMRC
Guidelines Staying Healthy – Preventing infectious diseases in early childhood education and care
services to find out when Rebecca may come back to the service.
Usually gastroenteritis lasts for few days. So rebecca may come back after 3,4 days to the service.
Today Peter Amad, who is three years old, is playing outside and cuts himself on a piece of broken glass
that he finds hidden under the trees. You and Cathy (another educator) witness the injury.
The cut is to his right hand on the palm. The cut is quite superficial and is bleeding a little.
Cathy cleans and disinfects the cut and puts on a band aid. You remove the glass and check the outdoor
area to make sure there are no more hazards.

Background
Anaphylaxis is a severe, rapidly progressive allergic reaction that is potentially life threatening. The
prevalence of allergies is increasing with approximately 1 in 20 Australian children having food allergy and
approximately 1 in 50 having peanut allergy.
The key to the prevention of anaphylaxis in child care services is knowledge of those children who have
been diagnosed as at risk, awareness of allergens, and prevention of exposure to those allergens.
Communication between child care services and parents/guardians is important in helping children avoid
exposure.
Adrenaline given through an adrenaline autoinjector (such as an Epipen ® or Anapen®) into the muscle of
the outer mid-thigh is the most effective first aid treatment for anaphylaxis.
Scope
Policy Statement
The Purpose
When introducing the Anaphylaxis Management Policy to staff it is important to first meet with them to
explain the new policy, what it entails and when it will commence. Give them sufficient notice to ask
questions and have any concerns addressed prior to it being introduced.
PROCEDURE
Whenever a child with severe allergies is enrolled at the child care service, or newly diagnosed as having a
severe allergy, all staff will be informed of:
− The child’s name and room
− Where the child’s ASCIA Action Plan will be located
− Where the child’s adrenaline autoinjector is located;
− Which staff member(s) will be responsible for administering the adrenaline autoinjector?
▪ New and relief/casual staff will be given information about children’s special needs (including children
with severe allergies) during the orientation process.
▪ The child care service will discuss the provision of a Medic Alert bracelet for the child at risk of
anaphylaxis with parents/guardians.
Staff Training
▪ An appropriate number of staffs will be trained in the prevention, recognition and treatment of
anaphylaxis in child care settings, including the use of adrenaline autoinjectors.
▪ Each child care service will need to determine which of their staff should be trained to ensure that
someone in close proximity to the child is always on hand to act in an emergency. In a small service this
may mean that all staff should be trained, whilst in a larger service it may be sufficient for only those
staff who work with the child to be trained. Best practice, however, would be for all staff to undergo
training so there is always support in any situation.
▪ The child care service will ensure the Food Coordinator is trained in managing the provision of meals
for a child with allergies, including high levels of care in preventing cross contamination during storage,
handling, preparation and serving of food. Training will also be given in planning appropriate menus
including identifying written and hidden sources of food allergens on food labels.
▪ The child care service will have available adrenaline autoinjector trainers to allow staff to practice using
the devices.
▪ Anaphylaxis emergency procedures will be conducted and evaluated every six months to ensure staff
are confident in the procedure and able to act in an emergency.
Emergency Procedures
The child’s Individual Anaphylaxis Health Care Plan should be completed in consultation with the child’s
parents/guardians. Such consultation includes:
− approval of the Plan
− consent to display the child’s ASCIA Action Plan
− consent for the information contained within the Plan to be made available to both child care staff
and emergency medical personnel (if necessary)
▪ The child’s Individual Anaphylaxis Health Care Plan must include information relating to the immediate
transport to hospital in an ambulance after an anaphylactic reaction. Repeat episodes of anaphylaxis
may necessitate the child requiring additional medical treatment.
▪ The child’s ASCIA Action Plan will be placed in a prominent position. This will ensure it can be regularly
read by child care staff where the child may be present during the day. The need to display the child’s
ASCIA Action Plan will be fully discussed with the child’s parents/guardians and their authorisation
obtained for this.
▪ The Supervising Officer will inform the child care service management of the agreed Individual
Anaphylaxis Health Care Plan for the child and obtain their endorsement for the Plan to proceed.
▪ All information on the child’s Individual Anaphylaxis Health Care Plan should be reviewed annually with
the child’s parents/guardians to ensure information is current to the child’s developmental level.
▪ The child’s Individual Anaphylaxis Health Care Plan should be reviewed prior to any special activities
(e.g. excursions) to ensure information is current and correct, and any specific contingencies are pre-
planned.
▪ It is understood that early recognition and prompt treatment for an anaphylactic reaction can be
lifesaving. Staff will therefore routinely review a child’s ASCIA Action Plan to ensure they feel confident in
how to respond quickly in an emergency.
▪ Parents/guardians are responsible for supplying the adrenaline autoinjector and ensuring that the
medication has not expired.
▪ After each emergency incident, the Individual Anaphylaxis Health Care Plan will be evaluated to
determine if the child care service’s emergency response could be improved.
▪ The child’s adrenaline autoinjector (and any other medication), must be labelled with the name of the
child and recommended dosage. Medication must be located in a position that is out of reach of the
children, but readily available to child care staff. Consideration must also be given to the need to keep
the adrenaline autoinjector away from excessive light, heat or cold when deciding on a suitable
location.
▪ Where it is known a child has been exposed to their specific allergen, but has not developed symptoms,
the child’s parents/guardians should be contacted. A request should be made to collect the child and
seek medical advice. The child care service should closely monitor the child until the parents/guardians
arrive. Immediate action should be taken if the child develops symptoms.
▪ It is quite possible that a child with no history of a previous anaphylaxis, may have their first
anaphylactic reaction whilst at the child care service, as these reactions only occur after the second
exposure to the allergen. If child care staff believe a child may be having an anaphylactic reaction and
the child care service has an adrenaline autoinjector for general use, this should be administered
immediately, and an ambulance called. If the child care service does not have an adrenaline
autoinjector for general use, staff must follow emergency First Aid procedures and ring for an
ambulance immediately.
In the child care environment, strategies used to reduce the risk of anaphylaxis for individual children will
depend on the nature of the allergen, the severity of the child’s allergy and the maturity of the child.
▪ Wherever possible the child care service will minimise exposure to known allergens by:
▪ A child at risk of food anaphylaxis should only eat lunches and snacks that have been prepared at home
or at the child care service under strictly supervised conditions. Children should not swap or share food,
food utensils and food containers.
▪ Special care will be taken to avoid cross contamination occurring at the child care service by providing
separate utensils for a child with allergies, taking extra care when cleaning surfaces, toys and
equipment, and ensuring strict compliance with the child care service’s hygiene policies and
procedures
▪ Only appropriately trained staff are to prepare, handle and serve the allergic child’s food, thus
minimising the risk of cross contamination occurring.
▪ For some children with food allergy, contact with small amounts of certain foods (e.g. nuts) can cause
allergic reactions. For this reason, all parents/guardians will be advised of specific food allergies and
how they can assist the child care service minimise the risk of exposure to known allergens.
▪ Some children have severe allergic reactions to insect venoms. Prevention of insect stings from bees
and wasps include measures such as:
− wearing shoes when outdoors
− closing windows in cars and buses
− taking great care when drinking out of cans, walking around pools, at the beach, or when walking
in grasses which are in flower.
▪ Child care staff will regularly inspect for bee and wasp nests on or near the property and store garbage
in well-covered containers so that insects are not attracted.
Education of children
▪ Child care staff will talk to children about foods that are safe and unsafe for the anaphylactic child. They
will use terms such as ‘this food will make ..... sick’, ‘this food is not good for .....’, and ‘..... is allergic to that
food’.
▪ Staff will talk about symptoms of allergic reactions to children (e.g. itchy, furry, scratchy, hot, funny).
▪ With older children, staff will talk about strategies to avoid exposure to unsafe foods, such as taking their
own plate and utensils, having the first serve from commercially safe foods, and not eating food that is
shared.
▪ Child care staff will include information and discussions about food allergies in the programs they
develop for the children, to help children understand about food allergy and encourage empathy,
acceptance and inclusion of the allergic child.
Reporting Procedures
▪ After each emergency situation the following will need to be carried out:
− Staff involved in the situation are to complete an Incident Report, which will be countersigned by
the person in charge of the child care service at the time of the incident;
− If necessary, send a copy of the completed form to the insurance company; and
− File a copy of the Incident Report on the child’s file.
− The Supervising Officer will inform the child care service management about the incident.
− The Supervising Officer or the Licensee is required to inform the Child Care Licensing and
Standards Unit about the incident.
▪ Staff will be debriefed after each anaphylaxis incident and the child’s Individual Anaphylaxis Health Care
Plan evaluated. Staff will need to discuss their own personal reactions to the emergency that occurred,
as well as the effectiveness of the procedures that were in place. It is important to learn from each
incident.
▪ Time is also needed to discuss the exposure to the allergen and the strategies that need to be
implemented and maintained to prevent further exposure.
Legislation
▪ The child care service will ensure personal details provided by parents/guardians are collected, used,
disclosed, stored and destroyed (when no longer needed) according to the Privacy Act 1988 and other
regulatory requirements. The need to display personal details included on the child’s ASCIA Action Plan
will be discussed with parents/guardians, and their written consent obtained prior to display.
▪ The licensee must ensure that, except in an emergency, medication is not administered to an enrolled
child without the written authority of the parent/guardian. In all other circumstances, the child care
Meredith Smyth is about to go to play outside. Read Meredith’s asthma care plan and take the necessary
action.

If your assessor sees that you have not completed all parts of the portfolio completely and satisfactorily, you
will need to redo and resubmit. Your assessor will discuss timeframes for resubmission when you are given
the outcome for this task.
INSTRUCTIONS:
This portfolio covers a number of areas where an educator needs to care for the safety and health of children.
The areas are:
▪ Part A: Quiet play activities
▪ Part B: Children’s privacy
▪ Part C: Teaching children about safety
▪ Part D: Medication
▪ Part E: Allergies
▪ Part F: Asthma
▪ Part G: Keep a safe and clean environment
▪ Part H: Teaching children about health and hygiene.
You will need to gather evidence for this task while you are at work.
Make sure you check the portfolio requirements carefully so that you can gather all the information that you
need.
If there is any area which does not apply to your work (for example there is no child with asthma in your
service), talk to your assessor to make other arrangements so you can be assessed.
You have been asked to provide some documents as evidence throughout the portfolio – if there is any
reason you cannot provide this evidence, for example due to service confidentiality, make a note of this in
your portfolio. Your assessor will talk to you about other ways that you can show this evidence.
You may also include other forms of evidence in your portfolio if you wish, for example, copies of policies,
photos, videos and checklists.
