"There's a saying about having or needing eyes in the back of your head. The implication being that to keep children 'safe' or 'out of mischief' we need to have our eyes on them at all times. While supervision is a must for early education and care services, it is crucial that we look beyond the ability to see everyone at the same time! Effective supervision ensures that children are not in danger while encouraging opportunities for risk taking, exploration and connection.
During the session, we will discuss regulatory requirements, what effective and ineffective supervision looks like, the impact of the physical environment and the importance of interaction and involvement. We will also troubleshoot the specific challenges of the service - supporting you to implement strategies that enhance supervision, while also respecting children's right to privacy and their right to engage in somewhat risky or challenging play. Attendees will leave feeling more confident in their role in keeping children safe in the service."
