Scenarios: Staff Gossiping & Child Celebrating Birthdays

Post by plsiri » Sat Jun 03, 2017 8:40 am

Hi Anyone can help me for below Case studies..

Scenario 1:

You are in the staff kitchen on a break and two other staff members are talking about some of the children in each of their rooms. One staff member is talking about how one child’s parents have just separated and the mother has requested that the father does not do pick up’s. The staff member proceeds to tell the other staff member that she suspects family violence has occurred as she had reported her suspicions in the past to her supervisor.
The two staff members proceed to talk about the case without realising that they could be heard from the hall. A parent who was picking up a sick child overheard the conversation.

Requirement:
Draft a response of what type of issue we are dealing with. What are some methods to ensure this doesn’t happen again?
Specifically, you need to identify:
- How these impact individual workers, and the consequences of breaches
- Identify a potential work practice improvement to enhance workplace responsiveness or to prevent such issues arising again.

Scenario 2:

A parent of a child in the 3-5 year old children's room asked staff not a allow her child to join in the singing of happy birthday to other children as this practice conflicted with the family's religious beliefs. The parent was shocked to see a photo of the group displayed on the notice board which included her child singing happy birthday to their child's best friend. She complained to the centre's director about this matter.

Requirement:
You are the staff member that allowed the child to sing happy birthday. Draft a response on how you would handle your supervisor asking why this happened and how you would go about it differently in the future.
Specifically, you need to identify:
- What the potential ethical issue is and what parties are involved
- How these impact individual workers, and the consequences of breaches
- Identify a potential work practice improvement to enhance workplace responsiveness or to prevent such issues arising again.

Please help me..
