Case Study 1
Rebecca is a four-year-old child who is about to enrol in the pre-school room. She has a physical
condition known as an ‘imperforate anus’. Imperforate anus is when there is no opening at the end
of the digestive track where the anus normally is. This condition affects about 1 in every 5000 babies,
and is a defect that occurs during the fifth to seventh weeks of fetal development. As a consequence,
Rebecca experiences trouble with bowel control and continuously leaks fluid from her anus that can
be quite strong smelling.
She has attended the service twice with her parents as part of the service’s orientation process and
has spent time in the room with the other children. She has had bowel accidents on both occasions,
which has been noticed and commented on by the other children. With one child saying ‘Does the
smelly girl have to be in our room?’ This was asked in front of both Rebecca and her parents.
1. Identify two strategies you would use with the children to promote understanding and
acceptance of Rebecca and her medical condition?
1- I would explain to the class students about Rebecca and her medical condition but not
in too much details to maintain confidentiality
2- I would ask students to play with her like any other child and her medical condition is
something normal and must be treated equally and with respect

I am impressed at the holistic and inclusive approach you have taken with this case
study.
Well done
** You as the Educator play a SIGNIFICANT part here by being a role model of
inclusion and setting the expectation that everyone belongs in the classroom.
Never underestimate how important small group time is with children – for stories,
discussions, projects - a powerful opportunity to discuss acceptance, inclusion etc.
I would encourage you to refer to TOPIC 2.7 Discuss with children how their
bodies work and the importance of physical activity to people’s health and
wellbeing
REMEMBER:
Children learn through play.
Consider how you will help children understand through play.
For example:
* social dramatic play is a strategy you may use to promote understanding and
acceptance
An intuitive educator will set up a hospital/medical/doctors’ area for children to
explore a variety of issues related to health – you may be surprised at how much
children actually know!

2. Briefly describe three actions educators can take to help Rebecca manage her toileting
needs in a way that both promotes her independence and also protects her self-esteem?
1- Keep a container of spare underwear, clothing and wipes in the bathroom for
Rebecca to discreetly access if she has a toileting accident
2- Inform children of how to store wet/ soiled clothing, and why it is important to
maintain good hygiene practices such as correct hand washing techniques and
cleaning the bathroom area.
3- Every couple of hours ask Rebecca privately if she’s feeling she wants to go toilet

These are appropriate strategies to support Rebecca mange her toileting needs.
Did you find the Toileting resource: 8488 helpful?
It has LOTS of supportive strategies for everyone involved when supporting a child
who is starting toileting
Consider that you are part of a team.
As part of a team, it is important that you communicate with other educators who
are caring for Rebecca too.

Be careful reading this question.
It asks you to describe your interaction with Rebecca.
I would be expecting to see something like:
 I will be sensitive to the needs of Rebecca and her family I will continually reflect how I can help Rebecca feel empowered and
included.

 As an educator, it is necessary to be sensitive to the grievances of Rebecca
and her family. I will continually reflect how I can help Rebecca feel empowered and
included.
 Necessary classroom modifications will be done to meet the needs of
Rebecca
 All the health care workers should be acquainted with the special needs of
Rebecca.
 Special attention should be given to Rebecca and a separate caregiver
might be allocated.
 Children should be encouraged not to make offensive comments. Positive
reinforcement –reward strategies could be introduced for making children to
behave properly.

5- Identify the policies and procedures, under the National Quality Framework, an education
and care service must have in place that will help guide your actions in this situation.
- When a child enrols with a specific health need, allergy or relevant condition, procedures
requiring parents to provide a medical management plan.
- Development of a communications plan for staff members and parents
- Development of a risk minimisation plan in consulting with the child’s parents.

Yes, a medical management plan is a valid response

6- Briefly explain how involving Rebecca’s parents in the management of her condition at the
service will reduce their anxiety about leaving her in the mornings?
Rebecca’s parents can take their child to the bathroom before leaving every morning.
Also boosting her self-esteem by making her feel she will be ok and that her medical condition
should not allow her to feel excluded or incapable of doing what she enjoys

This is an adequate response.

Yes, the Parents know their child best.
Consider how the parents will feel knowing their daughter’s educator is involved
and asking meaningful questions.
In Topic 8.3.1 Prepare children for changes in a supportive and timely
manner, there is a valuable reading “Plan effective transitions for children in
education and care services”.

Case Study 2
A family with two children attending the service send their children each day without a hat on an
ongoing basis. The parents have advised the service that they cannot get their children to wear
them so cannot see the point in sending one. On most days both children also attend in singlet
tops with small spaghetti straps.
1. Write a short script detailing how you would address the issue presented with the family
to ensure children are dressed in a way that protects them from the sun, and respects the
parent’s views.
Special workshops can be conducted or one on one single meeting can be conducted educating
the parents about the harmful effects of the ultraviolet of the sun. The parents should be
distributed with pamphlets, stating about the do’s and don’ts for a proper sun protection. The
parents will also be acquainted with the sun protection policy of the child care centre that has to
be followed mandatorily.

Sadly, this response is very basic, and does not reflect the readings or content
from the Learner Guide.
Starting with the correct Policy and Procedure is ALWAYS a great start, as it helps
to share current legislations and information about being sun smart.
TOPIC 8.2.2 Promote the sun protection of children to meet the

recommendations of relevant recognised authorities has a SAMPLE SunSmart
policy for early childhood
It provides valuable information how we can support others Learning and Skills – I
would highly recommend having a copy of this valuable resource
Asking the parents to bring in the correct hat and clothing would be required.
Then we, as Educators, can use a variety of strategies throughout the day to
reinforce the Sun Smart procedures.
Remember, we have a role here too to support Parent’s.

2. Identify which sections of the Regulations and National Quality Standard could be referred
to when explaining your responsibilities to children with regards to sun safety.
Standard 2.1 each child’s health is promoted.
The educational centres services must ensure that outdoor spaces provided at the
education and care service premises include adequate shaded areas to protect children
from overexposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

3. Identify three strategies you could use to encourage the children’s cooperation with the
service’s sun safe policy?
1. Notify children about the side effects of not having sun protection
2. Showing animated movies to children and discussing with them about importance of
protection from sun
3. Allow children do a research and discover themselves everything related to sun safe policy
