PART ONE: UNIT AND ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW
Performance Evidence
The candidate must show evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit,
manage tasks and manage contingencies in the context of the job role. There must be demonstrated evidence that the
candidate has completed the following tasks:
 developed and implemented a plan for support and inclusion for at least one child, including:
 contributing to individualised, child-centred planning and service delivery
 collaborating and sharing information with family and other educators to develop and implement an inclusion plan
 investigating and trialling strategies to address the needs of the child
 reviewing and suggesting adaptations to service delivery to meet the needs of children with special needs
 identifying and assessing the additional needs of individual children
 gathering additional resources or sources of information to assist in developing and adapting curriculum to meet
additional needs.
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must be able to demonstrate essential knowledge required to effectively do the task outlined in elements and
performance criteria of this unit, manage the task and manage contingencies in the context of the work role. These include
knowledge of:
 how to access:
 the National Quality Framework
 the National Quality Standards
 the relevant approved learning framework
 and how to navigate through framework and standards documents to find areas relevant to this unit of competency

Assessment Conditions
Skills must be demonstrated in a regulated education and care service. In addition, simulations and scenarios must be used
where the full range of contexts and situations cannot be provided in the workplace or may occur only rarely. These are
situations relating to emergency or unplanned procedures where assessment in these circumstances would be unsafe or is
impractical.
Simulated assessment environments must simulate the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would
be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment.
Assessment must ensure use of:
 National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care

PART TWO: ASSESSMENT TASKS
tmp1ua7owwo3934018_386447669_1202093.docx 6

Student Assessment Workbook
Before you commence this assessment, please read the student declaration on the front page. It is
important that you are ready for assessment and understand the assessment process. Please speak
with your Trainer if you have any questions.
Assessment Task 1
Promoting inclusion
Purpose
This assessment task is designed to assess your skills and knowledge in promoting inclusion.
Requirements
To complete this assessment task, you need:
 access to a children’s services environment
 to answer the questions and submit responses as directed by your trainer/assessor/training
organisation
 access to the Early Years Learning Framework and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of
the Child.
It is essential that you promote inclusion. To do so you must:
 make curriculum decisions that promote participation
 demonstrate actions that assist, support and encourage children to participate
 interact with families and children in ways that show you believe in their capacity to succeed
 work with others within and outside of your service to develop your professional knowledge of
people with different needs.
The following are some people and services that can support you to do these things:
 Families of children with additional support needs
 Educational leaders
 Professional Support Coordinators (PSCs)
 Inclusion Support Agencies (ISAs)
 Services within the community that specialise in supporting children with specific additional
support needs
1. Explain and provide evidence to show how each of these people and services assist you to
promote inclusion. You might provide evidence such as:
 documents
 pamphlets, leaflets or flyers
 website addresses
 notes from discussions
 points based on your knowledge.
 Families of children with additional support needs help promote inclusivity by informing the
educators how to take care of their children effectively. Thereby they also make contributions to
curriculum development where helping the children with additional support by actively engaging
with them becomes a part of the daily activities in the centre.
 Educational leaders promote inclusion in early childhood setting by sharing their knowledge of
the importance and relevance of inclusion of all children in daily activities, irrespective of their
personal nuances.
tmp1ua7owwo3934018_386447669_1202093.docx 7

Student Assessment Workbook
 Professional support coordinators assist in promoting inclusion by providing customised training
and mentoring to the professionals involved in the childcare profession.
 Inclusive support agencies help the professional early childhood services to be able to
effectively provide support and promote inclusive activities in the early childhood centre so that
all children can engage together irrespective of their differences, to collectively meet their
learning outcomes.
 The services within the community that specialise in supporting children with specific additional
support, assist us in promoting inclusivity by taking each child with special needs into
consideration and amending segments of the curriculum to fit them in the activities. At the same
time, they also help develop resources and materials tailored to incorporate all children together.
2. Reflect on UNICEF’s The right to participation (www.unicef.org/crc/files/Right-to-Participation.pdf)
and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Explain how your service
philosophy, policies and procedures link to this international legislation. Discuss:
 inclusion, equity and diversity
 the need for understanding different backgrounds, experiences, and needs of families in
exceptional circumstances or with additional needs
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of The Child is an international legislation that upholds
the children’s rights as much as the rights of all adult human beings. Similarly, the Right to Participation
supports the notion of equal school and educational participation for all children, irrespective of their
individual differences.
The service links to this international legislation by actively promoting the inclusion of all children in all
the activities and not discriminating against a child based on his / her individual differences. In terms of
inclusion, equity and diversity, the service follows the philosophy of no child left behind, and promotes
active learning and educational goals of the children in an inclusive and respectful manner.
In order to promote that level of inclusivity, the service also attempts to understand the background and
needs of each child in a highly detailed manner. This involves constant sessions with the parents and
families of the children, especially those with special needs.
3. Link the principles of inclusion and participation to a Principle, Practice and Outcome of the Early
Years Learning Framework.
Principle: Respect for diversity.
Practice: Cultural Competence
