INSTRUCTIONS
The questions in the Knowledge Assessment are all in a short answer format. They address
the underpinning knowledge and concepts relevant to the units of competency in this subject.
Case Studies are longer questions requiring creative thought processes and application of
concepts to theoretical situations, while the Project sets out tasks to be delivered in an actual
workplace setting.
Where applicable, you must answer all questions using your own words. However you
may reference your learner guide, and other online or hard copy resources to complete this
assessment.
You must attempt all assessments satisfactorily to achieve an overall award of competent.
Re-read the section on Plagiarism and Copying in your Welcome pack.
If you are currently working as part of an Early Childhood Education/Child Care team, you
may answer these questions based on your own workplace. Otherwise consider what you
should do if you were working as part of an Early Childhood Education/Child Care team you
may refer to Sparkling Stars as an example.
WHAT IS COMPETENCY BASED ASSESSMENT
The features of a competency based assessment system are:
• It is focused on what learners can do and whether it meets the criteria specified by
industry as competency standards.
• Assessment should mirror the environment the learner will encounter in the
workplace.
• Assessment criteria should be clearly stated to the learner at the beginning of the
learning process.
• Assessment should be holistic. That is it aims to assess as many elements and/or
units of competency as is feasible at one time.
• In competency assessment a learner receives one of only two outcomes –
competent or not yet competent.
• The basis of assessment is in applying knowledge for some purpose. In a
competency system, knowledge for the sake of knowledge is seen to be ineffectual
unless it assists a person to perform a task to the level required in the workplace.
• The emphasis in assessment is on assessable outcomes that are clearly stated for
the trainer and learner. Assessable outcomes are tied to the relevant industry
competency standards where these exist. Where such competencies do not exist,
the outcomes are based upon those identified in a training needs analysis.

4
Definition of competency
Assessment in this context can be defined as:
• The fair, valid, reliable and flexible gathering and recording of evidence to
support judgement on whether competence has been achieved. Skills and
knowledge (developed either in a structured learning situation, at work, or in some
other context) are assessed against national standards of competence required by
industry, rather than compared with the skills and knowledge of other learners.
THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ASSESSING NATIONALLY
RECOGNISED TRAINING
Developing and conducting assessment, in an Australian vocational education and training
context, is founded on a number of basic conventions:
The principles of assessment
• Assessment must be valid
• Assessment must include the full range of skills and knowledge needed to
demonstrate competency.
• Assessment must include the combination of knowledge and skills with
their practical application.
• Assessment, where possible, must include judgements based on evidence
drawn from a number of occasions and across a number of contexts.
• Assessment must be reliable
• Assessment must be reliable and must be regularly reviewed to ensure that
assessors are making decisions in a consistent manner.
• Assessors must be trained in national competency standards for assessors
to ensure reliability.
• Assessment must be flexible
• Assessment, where possible, must cover both the on and off-the-job
components of training within a course.
• Assessment must provide for the recognition of knowledge, skills and
attitudes regardless of how they have been acquired.
• Assessment must be made accessible to learners though a variety of
delivery modes, so they can proceed through modularised training
packages to gain competencies.
• Assessment must be fair and equitable
• Assessment must be equitable to all groups of learners.
• Assessment procedures and criteria must be made clear to all learners
before assessment.
• Assessment must be mutually developed and agreed upon between
assessor and the assessed.
• Assessment must be able to be challenged. Appropriate mechanisms must
be made for reassessment as a result of challenge.

5
The rules of evidence (from Training in Australia by M Tovey, D Lawlor)
When collecting evidence there are certain rules that apply to that evidence. All evidence
must be valid, sufficient, authentic and current;
• Valid
• Evidence gathered should meet the requirements of the unit of
competency. This evidence should match, or at least reflect, the type of
performance that is to be assessed, whether it covers knowledge, skills or
attitudes.
• Sufficient
• This rule relates to the amount of evidence gathered. It is imperative that
enough evidence is gathered to satisfy the requirements that the learner is
competent across all aspects of the unit of competency.
• Authentic
• When evidence is gathered, the assessor must be satisfied that evidence is
the learner’s own work.
• Current
• This relates to the recency of the evidence and whether the evidence
relates to current abilities.
THE DIMENSIONS OF COMPETENCY
The national concept of competency includes all aspects of work performance, and not only
narrow task skills. The four dimensions of competency are:
• Task skills
• Task management skills
• Contingency management skills
• Job role and environment skills
REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT
Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners with a
disability - November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre
Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or
making changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a disability. A reasonable
adjustment can be as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities, or installing a
particular type of software on a computer for a person with vision impairment.
Why make a reasonable adjustment?
We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that learners with a disability have:
• the same learning opportunities as learners without a disability

6
• the same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a
disability.
Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and assessment
activities can include:
• customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or
accredited course
• modifying the presentation medium
• learner support
• use of assistive / adaptive technologies
• making information accessible both prior to enrolment and during the course
• monitoring the adjustments to ensure learner needs continue to be met.
Assistive / Adaptive Technologies
Assistive/adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically
designed to assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide Web
Consortium - W3C). It includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software,
alternative keyboards, devices for grasping, visual alert systems, digital note takers.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Reasonable adjustment made for collecting candidate assessment evidence must not impact
on the standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant Unit(s) of
Competency. E.g. If the assessment was gathering evidence of the candidates competency in
writing, allowing the candidate to complete the assessment verbally would not be a valid
assessment method. The method of assessment used by any reasonable adjustment must still
meet the competency requirements.
CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM
What is Cheating?
Cheating within the context of the study environment means to dishonestly present an
assessment task or assessment activity as genuinely representing your own understanding of
and/or ability in the subject concerned.
Some examples of cheating are:
• Submitting someone else’s work as your own. Whether you have that persons consent
or not.

7
• Submitting another author’s work as your own, without proper acknowledgement of
the author.
• To allow someone else to submit your own work as theirs.
• To use any part of someone else’s work without the proper acknowledgement
There are other forms of cheating not contained in this list. These are merely given as some
examples. If you are unsure about whether any particular behaviour would constitute
plagiarism or cheating, check with your trainer prior to submitting your assessment work.
What is Plagiarism?
Plagiarism is a form of cheating and includes presenting another person or organisation’s
ideas or expressions as your own. This includes, however is not limited to: copying written
works such as books or journals, data or images, tables, diagrams, designs, plans,
photographs, film, music, formulae, web sites, and computer programs.
How do I avoid Plagiarism or Cheating?
Students are advised to note the following advice to avoid claims of plagiarism or cheating:
• Always reference other people’s work. You may quote from someone else's work
(for example from websites, textbooks, journals or other published materials) but you
must always indicate the author and source of the material.
• Always reference your sources. You should name sources for any graphs, tables or
specific data, which you include in your assignment.
• You must not copy someone else's work and present it as your own.
• You must not falsify assessment evidence.
THE UNITS OF COMPETENCY
Each unit of competency can be unbundled to reveal two key assessment components:
• the performance criteria
• specifying the required level of performance
• the evidence guide
• Describing the underpinning knowledge and skills that must be demonstrated
to determine competence. It provides essential advice for assessment of the
unit of competency in the form of:
• critical aspects of evidence
• the essential skills
• the essential knowledge
An outline of the units of competency is included below. Note that some skills that are not
able to be observed in the workplace during your Vocational Placement will be assessed
utilising Case Studies and/or projects.

Ensuring that items used for toys storage do not have lids that could harm to child
Ensuring that toys or other play equipment do not contain toxic material
Check that the toys are safe to use in their proposed area
Record the result of your risk analysis
Provide that report of records to your supervisor.
b. Steps you would take if you identified a toy or piece of equipment that presented a
WHS hazard with an extreme risk
We have to teach children to be aware of the risks and the consequences of
hazards
Taking that toy or piece of equipment from the play area immediately
Analysis of that hazard toy or piece of equipment
Making report of that hazard toy
Providing that report to supervisor immediately

20
3. In your role as an Early Childhood Education and Care worker, you will need to
implement effective hygiene and health practices in many aspects of practice.
• Fill out the table below and explain the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy
environment and the risk associated with each of the following areas:
i. The centre (overall)
ii. Kitchen
iii. Outdoor Environment
iv. Indoor Environment
v. Toilets
Guidance: Make sure you discuss the risks associated with not maintaining these
environments and associated risks.
Area Importance of maintaining a
clean and healthy environment Associated Risk
i. The Centre
(overall) Keeping the centre clean is
important for the health ,safety
and well being of children and
our health.
There is risk of spread of germs
like bacteria ,viruses etc.
ii. Kitchen It is important to kitchen clean
because children are eat the food
from kitchen if kitchen is not
clean bacteria could spread to
food.
There is risk of illness if kitchen
or equipments of kitchen is not
clean because of bacteria could
spread to food.
iii. Outdoor
Environment it is important to maintain
outdoor environment because
children can learn caring for their
environment and there shold be
maintain of hygienic outdoor
environment.
There is risk of unpleasant
odor and insects in environment
and unclean outdoor floor is also
not safe for children's feet and
pay area.
iv. Indoor
Environment it is important to maintain clean
indoor environment like
toy ,floor because children are
playing with this thing and they
are running inside so floor must
be dry and clean .
There is risk of illness and
disease if indoor enviroment is
not clean.

21
v. Toilets it is impotartant to clean the
toilets regulary because
disinfected to prevent cross-
contamination of germs from the
children using the bathroom and
also ensure the floors are dry to
prevent slipping.
There is risk of spread of
germs ,if floor is not dry chances
of slipping and unpleasant
odor.
• Identify which sections in the following frameworks provide information and/or
guidance on WHS and/or hazards and risks.
i. Education and Care Services National Regulations
ii. National Quality Standards (NQS)
iii. Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)
iv. Framework for School Aged Care in Australia (FSAC)
Guidance: You need to review these frameworks and identify which section, standard or
outcomes, address WHS requirements, policies and procedures.
i. Education and Care
Services National
Regulations
It follows the National Law and provides
details on the operational requirements for education
care services. In this context, the National Quality
Standard would be implemented apart from
developing the rating scale. In addition, staffing
arrangements is an essential aspect of Education and
Care Services.As a result, the National Quality
Standard of the work place would be maintained.
ii. National Quality Standards
(NQS)
The National Quality Standard aims at the
promotion of safety, health status as well as the
wellbeing of the workers, so that the high-quality
educational program for the children can be achieved.As
a result, the children would get quality of education and
can practice from safe physical environment.Diversified
physical environment would promote better children’s
learning and development process.
iii. Early Years Learning
Framework (EYLF)
The framework explains the outcomes,
principles and practices in order to support as well as

22
improve the learning of the children from birth to five
years. It would assure that the Australian children would
experience better quality of learning and teaching
method.
iv. Framework for School
Aged Care in Australia
(FSAC)
It is also linked with the National Quality
Standard, whose prime objective is to improve the
wellbeing of the children and also to enhance the

24. Understanding your role in fire safety is an important factor in keeping children safe in
Early Childhood Education and Care.
Using the table below, explain in your own words the following aspects of basic home
fire safety:
Fire spread and speed I need to adopt the fire clean-up process very quickly
since fire starts to spread at 30 minutes after it started and start to
grow rapidly.
Heat transfer In order to keep safe the children in the education
centre, I have planned to apply the heat transfer process, which
would transfer the unnecessary heat to the low temperature
from the high temperature reservoir.
Radiation I need to control the excess radiation since it would lead
to create several health issues of the children such as the problem
of hair loss, and even the development of cancers.
Convection Convection heat transfer is also considered as one of the
essential measurements of the controlling of heat and the
excess heat would be converted into the fluid under this
process.
Conduction With the help of the conduction technique, I can convert
the excess heat in the form of energy. It is the other approach
of controlling the excess heat in the child care centre.
Combustible fuels Combustible fuels are referred as the liquid fuels, which
is used for the development of mechanical energy and is used
for the production of kinetic energy
Sources of heat In order to maintain the home fire safety, I need to take

38
the help of some natural sources such as solar energy, biomass
and geothermal energy.
Open flames/sparks I need to focus that the flammables would require to be
kept away from the open flames or spark, so that the spreading
of fire in the child care centre can be avoided
Electrical equipment I require to be concerned that the children are far away
from the electrical equipment such as distribution boards or from
electric switch boards.
Hot surfaces In order to protect the children from scalding and burning,
I need to keep them away from the hot surfaces.
Smoking materials The children may suffer from the lung disease, therefore, I
do not need to allow the staff to smoke in the compound of child
care centre.
Role of fire services Fire services are capable to fight against fires as well as
can protect the children and the other staff.
Identify high-risk
groups in basic home
for safety
I have planned to include fire escape plan for safety.
Identify behaviour that
may contribute to fire
injury and fatalities
(List three per
category.)

a. Injury related with peer group programming, which
involve gasoline.
b. Climbing the utility poles.
c. In rural areas, it is caused by the movement of irrigation
pipes.
Children under 5 years of age

39
a. Playing with matches
b. Playing with cigarette lighters
c. Unnecessary movement of trash fires and barbecue pits

scalding fluids.
b. Bathtub scalds
c. If anybody warm the plastic made of utensils in
microwave
People who are afflicted by alcohol and other drugs
a. Using of electric blankets
b. Excessive smoking in the house
c. alcohol is flammable
Why smoke alarm is
important
It can detect fire and protect the children
Smoke alarm
placement
It is used as the smoke detector region, from where the
fire can be spread.
Installation I need to install it on the ceiling, more specifically
above 300 mm of the nearest wall.
Maintenance I require to check that the smoke alarm is used at least for
10 years.

Part A
Case Study One
Safety at the workplace is essential for the effective and efficient modus operandi of an
organisation. To ensure the same, the policy and frameworks of the organisation must be
formulated and executed in such a manner that the guidelines related to safety are adhered to
by all the staff associated with the workplace. The policy of the workplace must imply the
physical and mental health of the staff to be maintained in a proper and appropriate manner.
In this aspect, mandatory medical checkups of the employees must be conducted in a regular
manner. As a result, planning for the same must be done accordingly by spreading awareness
amongst employees about the importance of healthcare as far as personal hygiene is
concerned. Additionally, psychological assistance may also be provided for the employees as
far as mental health is concerned in order to be more productive with reference to the delivery
of incredible performance. However, the key thing in order to undertake such steps and
measures is to ensure planning as far as the implementations of such measures are concerned.
As a result, a proper strategy must be followed in an organised manner in order to ensure
health and safety at the workplace. Policies relating to sexual harassment must also be
implemented in order to ensure the safety and security of the staff at the workplace concerned
thereby fostering an amicable relationship amongst the staff. Regulations related to health
and safety at the workplace must be linked with the policy of the organisation through an
appropriate procedure. Employers must be briefed in an effective and efficient manner as to
the strategy to be followed with regard to the formulation of the policy for the organisation
focusing over the safety of employees. In this regard, it should be ensured that the possible
hazards associated with the workplace must be identified and determined at the earliest and
subsequently dealt with in a proper and appropriate manner. Furthermore, appropriate
precautions must be followed while carrying out field work with regard to the maintenance of
health and safety. It involves the adherence of proper guidelines which must be drafted and
formulated after consultation with those people who are expertise in the disciplines related to
medicine and health care. It would ensure the proper procedures as far as excursion is
concerned. It implies that during the undertaking of external activities on part of the
organisation, appropriate health and safety measures must be followed.

Case Study Two
I would be off for a vacation for a period of three days from today. This email is regarding
the guidelines to be followed for taking care of two kids Tim and Kevin. Both of them are
easy to handle and would not cause major problems based on my experience of controlling
them. However, there are some steps and measures to be followed with regard to the
satisfaction of their needs and demands as far as their eating habits and sleeping times are
concerned. While, Kevin would not cause any issue related to eating and sleeping, Tim is a
bit fussy about vegetables but his mum insists that he should have vegetables regularly.
Kevin also needs assistance to go to the toilet. He should be ensured that you must be a
familiar face for him as he would not let any unfamiliar person but his mum to clean him up
when he soils up his clothes. He is also quite shy and docile who would love to hear bedtime
stories recorded by his mum as he would get petrified if he does not hear his mum’s voice for
a prolonged time. He would also be allergic to lactose and milk products. He would throw
tantrums if he does not gets his afternoon sleep in a proper manner. He should not be

71
provided with any food items containing sweets during the time duration of 13:00 hours to
14:00 hours and after 17:00 hours. You can also contact Michelle for further assistance. Wish
you all the best with the kids.

Overall Reflection:
I have experinced in my tenure as a child educator that it is a very stressful job with sometimes huge
workload and the catering to the suitability of different kinds of children. However, there is scope for
personal life provided that there are no emergencies with regard to the care of children. Convincing the
parents about the care of their children is also a tumultous task. Support by supervisors play an important
rrole with my professional development as a child educator. Being engaged with kids is also a satisfactory
experience for me. The salary and benefits also help me with refernece to financial support of my family.
Scenario 2
Extending work hours would have a negative influence over the health of the people.
However, it is is eessential on part of people to take regular and adequate breaks as far as
recovery from fatigue is concerned. In order to address issues concerning work related stress,
a discussion must be held in order to ensure the agreement of all the people in charge of the

73
management. It would be followed by the identificastion of the aspects related to stress at the
workplce as far as the psychological hazards are concerned. The next step involves the kinds
of hazards prevalent in thde workplce along with the identification of the categories of people
who are prone to work related stress. The third step implies the formulation of a plan in a
strategic manner as far as the due course of action to be undertaken is concerned with
reference to the completion of the assessment and the referring of the outcomes of the
assseessment to the concerned supervisor. It involves the completion of the appropriate
