CHCCN301C - Scenario: A Special Day - Child Injured During Wildlife Show

Post by Chels23 » Thu Apr 17, 2014 4:27 pm

Your Assignment Module Number and Heading: CHCCN301C Task 003: Injuries
Your Assignment Type: Case Scenario
Currently Working in Childcare? No
Your knowledge: Beginner

Your Question?
I need to answer these two questions

I. List the key factor/s that contribute to the accident
ii. What action could the educator/s have taken to minimise the likelihood of the accident occurring?
here is the scenario....

today is a special day at the service. the ranger from the local wildlife park is coming to show the children some baby animals. The children are very excited an are eager to get themselves ready for the visitors. The educators decide to combine the 2s, 3s and 4-5yrs groups for the visit. The ranger is scheduled to arrive just after morning tea. The educators help the children form a large circle with the pre-schoolers seated on the floor and the younger children seated on chairs behind the pre-schoolers. Educators are seated at various points around the circle. All goes well until the ranger shows the children a large diamond python he has in a bag. Several of the younger pre-schoolers become frightened and try to push themselves to the back of the circle. One child trips and falls onto a toddler. The toddler, who was standing on her chair, falls backwards and bites her tongue as her head hits the floor.


What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
Not sure on these one!

I think the contributing factors are:

The educators help the children form a large circle with the pre-preschoolers seated on the floor and the younger children seated on chairs behind the pre preschoolers.

The educators decide to combine the 2s, 3s and 4-5yrs groups for the visit.

For the action the educator/s have taken to minimise the likelihood of the accident occurring, think about the factors mentioned above and how it could of been avoided....
