Part two of the IncludED@OSHC learning journey
To create a high-quality, inclusive OSHC service, you will need to cultivate solid relationships with a range of people and organisations.
The National Quality Framework for education and care explains the requirements you need to meet:
-
Quality Area 4 – Staffing arrangements: the role OSHC staff play in leading and role-modelling inclusion of children with complex disability
-
Quality Area 5 – Relationships with children: the trusting relationships OSHC services build with children with complex disabilities, to ensure each child has a say in their experience at OSHC
-
Quality Area 6 – Collaborative partnerships with families and communities: how OSHC services work with families, other care providers, schools and the broader community to support the inclusion of children with complex disabilities.
