2. a) Prepare a presentation suitable to give to parents, and deliver it to your trainer/assessor, fellow learners or co-workers. The presentation should cover the following topics about the service:
· The philosophies and values of your service
· The service’s procedures that parents must follow; for example, on arrival
· The service’s procedures about addressing parental concerns or requests
· The service’s standards, policies and procedures in relation to incidents and how they are communicated to parents; for example, if an incident occurs, what you will do?
· How the service meets the needs of families who need assistance with the English language
b) Choose one topic from your presentation and provide this information in a manner that is suitable for people who have limited English skills.
c) Interview a parent and write down their responses to the following questions. Protect the parent’s confidentiality; you do not have to mention their name.
· Do you feel you collaborate sufficiently with service educators to develop care strategies for your child? In what ways?
· How do you find out about your child’s progress, relationships and experiences within the service? Are you satisfied with the level of communication? Why or why not?
· How welcoming do you think the service environment and educators are? What works well and what needs to improve?

3. a) List indicators about a child and their family that may indicate they need additional support from resources within the community.
b) Create a notice or computerised display that responds to a current topic of concern or interest for a parent or parents at your service. If you have no relevant topic currently, ask your supervisor or trainer/assessor to suggest one.
· The display should focus on two organisations outside of your service that are able to support the topic and the parents needing assistance. It should aim to meet:
the National Quality Standard Element 6.2.2 ‘Current information is available to families about community services and resources to support parenting and family wellbeing’
Element 6.3.1 ‘Links with relevant community and support agencies are established and maintained’.
· Include in your display:
a clear heading so everyone knows what the topic is
current information about the topic
what assistance each organisation can offer the parents
a copy of any resources they provide
a list of resources that can be accessed
how the organisation and the resources can be accessed; for example, do they need a referral?
who to contact
any costs, fees or funding if relevant
if information is available in a language other than English.
c) How would you ensure this information remains current?
