Project Task 1: Review the service’s compliance

Instructions – Your service has received notification of an assessment and rating process.
You are required to use your cu
ent knowledge of the National Quality Framework (NQF)
and other relevant legislation, standards and regulations, to facilitate a self-assessment of
your service’s compliance in response to the announced assessment and rating process.
Read ACECQA’s resources (Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority) to
assist you with the following workplace tasks.
• Guide to Developing a Quality Improvement Plan
• Guide to Assessment and Rating for Services


Step by step instructions to build your portfolio for Project Task 1 are provided in the table
elow:
Step Instructions
Step 1 Carefully read all the instructions and the assessment criteria provided for this
project task (see below) to ensure you fully understand what is expected of you in
the assessment. If anything is unclear, you should speak to your traine
assessor.
Step 2 Create a sample communication to all service staff members announcing that an
assessment and rating process has begun and providing details of the compliance
self-assessment.
Analyse each element of each NQF which includes EYLF, NQS, Laws and
egulation to determine its relevance to your service.
You should clarify aspects of the NQF and its application with your workplace
supervisor or other qualified and experienced senior staff membe
s at your
service. Keep a record of such conversations as you will be required to recount
details in your written report. Examples include: staff meetings, one on one
discussions with your superviso
oom leader.
Note: Collaboration with others is a requirement.

Step Instructions
Step 3
Identify other relevant legislation, standards and regulations that your workplace
must comply with. Choose at least three (3) and document how the service
complies with the following areas:
- Public health
- Child protection
- Work health and safety
- Anti-discrimination
- Equal opportunity
- Privacy
- Convention on the Rights of the Child
Analyse each regulatory area to determine its relevance to your service. Be
mindful that some of these regulatory requirements are embedded in the National
Quality Framework. Take note of where the overlaps are when planning your self-
assessment activities.
Speak with your workplace supervisor or other Diploma (or higher) qualified and
experienced senior staff membe
s to clarify any compliance requirement and its
application at the service. As in Step 2, you must keep a record of such
conversations as you will be required to recount details in your written report.
Step 4 Determine at least three (3) methods you will use to gather self-assessment
information and source and/or develop the tools relevant to each method.
Your self-assessment data will come from many sources, including:

➢ service policies and procedures
➢ service records
➢ observation of service activities
➢ interviews or surveys with service staff, children and families.
Tools may include checklists, observation records, interview guides, surveys,
meeting minutes, photographs, etc. Ensure you consider privacy and
confidentiality – e.g. provide person’s first name only.
In your written report, you will need to justify your choice of self-assessment
methods and tools.

Step Instructions
Step 5 For this project, your role is nominated supervisor. You are to prepare the content
for an email to all service staff members that:
➢ Informs them that an assessment and rating process has begun.
➢ Provides general information about the assessment and rating process.
➢ Provides information about the compliance self-assessment that you will be
coordinating and the role that staff will play in the process.
➢ Provides an outline of each compliance requirement that will be reviewed as
part of the self-assessment. This should encompass all legislation,
frameworks, standards and regulations that apply to the service.
Your outline of all compliance requirements should be more than a page in length,
so prepare this as an attachment for your email.
Step 6 You should now undertake your compliance self-assessment using the methods
and tools you identified in Step 4.
Don’t forget that the evidence you gather includes:

➢ 10 x regulations,
➢ 7 x NQS and
➢ 5 x EYLF
that must be submitted as part of your project portfolio. You may choose to scan
handwritten information for electronic submission but may submit hard copies to
your traine
assessor.

Step 7
Review and analyse the self-assessment data you have gathered. You should
egin to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses regarding the service’s
compliance status.
A useful tool for this step would be the ACECQA National Quality Standard
Assessment and Rating Instrument.
During the process, you must share the self-assessment data with other staff
members and collaborate with them during this analysis phase. Keep a record of
