Hi, I have just started studying my Cert III in childrens services and am having difficulties with a legislation question. I have to match up the legislation with the description

Legislations:

b. Education and Care Services National Regulation, 2011
c. The convention on the rights of the child
d. Commission for children and Young People Act 1998
e. The Early Childhood Inc "Code of Ethics"
f. National Quality Standards
g. Occupational Health and Safety legislation
h. Anti-discrimination legislation & equal employment opportunity
i. Public Health (immunisation) legislation
j. Privacy & personal information protection Act 1998 & Freedom of Information Act 1989
k. Industrial Relations legislation

Descriptions

2. Requirement to notify health authorities of contagious outbreaks and immunisation records: exclusion of unimmunised children during an immunisable disease outbreak

4. These outline minimum standards for children services licensing and care
5. In order to protect children, the employer has the responsibility to screen all prospective employees according to this Act

11. Set standards for food preparation to ensure it is both safe and suitable for human consumption. Stipulates food handling and food preparation and storage.

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
After submitting my answers to my assessor I was advised that the following go together and are correct

a. + 8
c. + 6
g. + 10
h. + 7
i. + 2
j. + 9

So I am struggling with Legislation b, d, e, f, k and descriptions 1, 3, 4, 5, 11

I think d = 5, e = 1, f = 3 but I am stuck on 11 the food regulation. From googling lots of websites I feel I can match b. with both 4 and 11 and I don't know which one links with Industrial relations legislation.

Description and Message:
I hope this isn't too confusing to understand and I really hope someone can help me out with this as I really can't seem to be able to locate the right answers. Thanks in advance for your help

OK, so I went through your answers and what you have so far seems right.

Matching points 4 and 11 to either b or k can get a little confusing. I agree with you they both seem to fit with one another.

However, I went on the Industrial Relations website and it is all about providing correct wages to employees, leave entitlements, holidays etc so I think that it is best suited to no 4.

Here is the link to the Industrial Relations site: http://www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov. ... _info.page?

That leaves b to 11.

Hope this makes sense,
