2-who can you seek assistance from if you require support in your role
under the Regulations the Approved (service)provider is required to appoint an educational leader to...guide other educators in their planning and reflection, and mentor colleagues in their implementation practice (ACECQA,2011,P.85)

3-why should educators follow policies and procedures in the workplace
writing policies and procedures takes time,but it is good time spent.not only it is a matter of good practice,it will assist in establishing the service as a professional organisation.where policies are applied and adhered to,they will promote a level of consistency amongest the staff,parents and the children.
Dealing with staff on a consistent basis promotes harmony and will contribute to reduced turnover in the service.A childcare service that has written its own policies and procedures is likely to be more efficient and effective in delivering their service,compared with a service that has replicated/copied a document from another service.Not having policies and procedures in place can result in having to resolve the same issue each time it arises.
