- Immunisation of children who attend the Centre will help to limit the spread of infection.
- We encourage parents to immunise their children against all diseases appropriate to the child’s age. A record of your child’s current immunisation status is taken at enrolment and parents are asked to provide an update after further immunization.
- Children who are not immunised will be excluded from care during outbreaks of some infectious diseases in accordance with the National Health & Medical Research Council exclusion guidelines (on display in the foyer), even if the child is well. This is to limit the spread of infection and protect children without immunisation.
Child Protection
Subicare has a responsibility to all children attending the center to defend their right to care and protection. To support this right the centre will follow the procedures set down in the Department of Community Development document “Child Protection in Children's Services", when dealing with any allegations of abuse or neglect of children, to ensure the protection of all children attending the Centre.
We believe we also have a responsibility to our employees to defend their right to confidentiality unless allegations of abuse against them are substantiated.
The “Child Protection in Children’s Services Guidelines” are held at the centre and are read by staff and are available to parents of children attending the centre.
Please see to the policy file for the full Child Protection Policy. All centre staff will receive training in Child Protection each year. ALL concerns are to be brought to the attention of the Director or in their absence to the Deputy Director immediately.
