Case Study 1
You are working in an early childhood education and care service that asks families to provide their
children’s snacks, meals and drinks for consumption throughout the day. A parent has begun sending
juice in their child’s drink bottle, instead of following the service’s Food and Nutrition Policy, which
states that children should only drink water when in care at the service. After discussing this with the
parent, the parent begins to send colourless cordial in their child’s drink bottle.
Complete the following:
a) Which policies, typically available in an early education and care service, is this parent
breaching? For example; Food and Nutrition Policy. Identify one more policy.
From the above discussed case study, primary care policy is breaching which is significantly
one of the most specific policy adopted by school for ensuring proper care services among
children. As parents are sending juice with child, instead of following the service food and
nutrition policy which states children should only drink water when in care at school.

This policy could be helpful Rosy, however I would suggest there are others that might be more
