Assessment -1
Work in partnership with families to provide appropriate education and care for children
Assessment Task 1
Creating a welcoming environment
When working in an Education and Care setting, it is important to create a welcoming environment for all families. To create a welcoming environment, Educators must first establish a partnership with families, and understand the importance of maintaining effective relationships with families and children. Early Childhood Education and Care services highlight the importance of building strong partnerships with families through Quality Area 6 of the National Quality Standard. Quality Area 6 focuses on forming respectful and supportive relationships with families, supporting families in their parenting role and developing links to community and support agencies.
Underpinning Quality Area 6 is Principle 2, Partnerships, in the Early Years Learning Framework. This principle recognises that learning outcomes are most likely to be achieved when Educators work in partnership with families. Creating an environment which supports two way communication, respects diversity and engages the community promotes a child's sense of being, belonging and becoming.
Refer to the following resources to complete the questions below:
- Belonging, Being and Becoming - Early Years Learning Framework
- Guide to the National Quality Standard, 2011
- ECA Code of Ethics, www.earlychilhoodaustralia.org.au
1.1 Principle 2 of the Early Years Learning Framework focuses on Partnerships. Suggest 5 characteristics of effective and collaborative partnerships.
1.2 Working in partnerships with families requires you as an Educator to build secure and respectful relationships with both families and children. There are principles and practices in the Early Years Learning Framework which underpin the value of family/educator relationships. The value of family/educator relationships is also recognised in Quality Area 5 of the National Quality Standard. It is also important to focus on the importance the ECA code of ethics plays when building family/ educator relationships and partnerships.
a. Refer to National Quality Standard 6.1 and reflect on how you as an Educator can develop and maintain respectful and supportive relationships.
b. Refer to National Quality Standard 5.1 and reflect on how developing relationships are crucial for a child's sense of being, belonging and becoming.
c. Refer to the ECA code of ethics and reflect on the practices you can use to create a welcoming environment for families.

Assessment Task 2
Communicating with families and sharing information
To support children's learning, as an Educator you need to have an understanding of children in the context of their family, culture and community. When Educators work in partnership with families and recognise the importance of family culture and community, they are able to support and nurture children by providing meaningful experiences.
Another aspect of building partnerships is ensuring that families are provided with current information in regards to the service, and any information that may affect the health and safety of their child. It is important to discuss and share this information promptly and sensitively to ensure that you communicate openly and honestly. Any information which the service provides must be readily available, and easy to read in the main languages used in the local community and in the home environment.
2.1 Element 6.2.1 of the National Quality Standard acknowledges that the expertise of families is recognised and they share in decision making about their child's learning and wellbeing.
Refer to this Element and suggest 2 ways Educators can encourage families to share their knowledge, skills and aspects of their life and culture.
2.2 Element 6.1.3 of National Quality Standard requires that services make current operational information available to families. Refer to National Regulation 173, and list what information must be displayed in regards to how the service operates.
2.3 Give 2 examples of other types of information a service may have on display for families.
