Premises and facilities criterion 9
Ø There is space for adults working at the service to:
- use for planned breaks;
- meet privately with parents and colleagues;
- store curriculum support materials; and
- assess, plan, and evaluate.
Related to clause 45(1)(a)(i) of standard.
Rationale/Intent:
The criterion is underpinned by the belief that positive outcomes are achieved for children when adults working at the service have the space and opportunity to plan and reflect, and appropriate spaces to take their breaks during the day. The criterion also aims to ensure that a level of privacy, confidentiality, dignity, and respect is available when required for discussions with parents.
