This became a problem for the parent the carer and child centre and possibly others.
The carer was me, we were busy at the time, we noticed the child was feeling left out and started to
Get depressed, started crying, we were short staffed, the child’s best friend whose birthday it was became upset too.
The children were becoming upset as well, so I let the child join in to sing happy birthday, being mindful that the parents request
was being ignored.
The breach was not obeying the parents requests, and the parents losing their trust in the carers or the centre again.
To help the parents develop trust again, at the centre, I will take the full responsibility for this, and will apologise to the parents as
well.
To deal with these types of situations in future we will have more staff on hand, so if any similar incident were to happen, we
would take the child to do other activities, before the party actually starts.
Follow up meetings will be implemented to inform staff of any new developments which may arise in the future,
So as a similar thing can be avoided.

again in the future.

This assessment activity requires you to implement and reflect on the tasks outlined in the
workplace reflection diary. You are also required to reflect on how the task relates back to the
National Quality Framework, Standards, National Laws and Regulations relating to working within

During the Certificate III of Early Childhood Education and Care, you are required to complete a
minimum work placement of 120 hours. This assessment activity must be completed during a
portion of the 120 hours of work placement time. It is recommended to allocate time either at the
end or during each shift to properly document the activities relating to the key areas.
There are four key areas you are required to provide evidence of performing within the workplace.
This includes:
- Contribute to workplace improvements
- Apply the learning framework
- Reflect on own practices
- Identify and respond to legal requirements
The four key areas and their related tasks are listed within the workplace reflection diary. Each task
has space to record the details of three separate instances of when you have performed these tasks.
You are encouraged to record three separate instances for each task.
The work must be conducted in a regulated education and care service directly supervised by the
workplace supervisor. You must document your work activities and have them signed off by your
workplace supervisor to verify these entries. Once you have addressed all key areas, you are
instructed to submit the completed workplace reflection diary to the assessor for review.

The following limitations apply:
You must complete the workplace reflection diary based on your work placement within a
regulated education and care service.
You must provide details of at least three examples of performing each task in the workplace.
You also need to reflect on how the task relates back to the National Quality Framework,

This task requires the assessor to engage with your workplace supervisor from a regulated education
and care service and have a discussion about your demonstrated behaviours and skills performed
consistently over the period of the work placement.
You will provide the workplace supervisor a copy of the supervisor report at the beginning of the
work placement. This will ensure the workplace supervisor can allocate tasks appropriately, and you
have sufficient time to complete the tasks. This also ensures that the workplace supervisor can
adequately prepare their comments for the discussion with the assessor.
The assessor should record the workplace supervisor responses on the supervisor report and retain
the completed supervisor report as evidence of the completed assessment activity. This report acts
as supplementary evidence to supports your competency and does not replace the assessment tasks
required for completion of this cluster.
