You are required to complete each part to be deemed competent in this unit of competency. Part A – Case Studies with short answer questions Student instructions Read the following case studies, then answer the questions that follow each. Case study 1 Rosalee, 4 years old, has been learning to ride her two-wheel bike. When she comes to Gavin’s family day care home, he notices that she has dark bruises on her legs. Gavin asks her about them, and she tells him they are from learning to ride her bike. The next day, Gavin notices that one of the marks on Rosalee’s legs is more like a welt than a bruise and is shaped in a strip. Rosalee seems to continue playing as normal, but later in the day when she is trying to do handstands, her skirt flips up and Gavin sees she has a dark red welt across her lower back. Gavin asks Rosalee about the mark and she tells him she just fell. Gavin decides to call his supervisor. He explains what he has seen and his supervisor suggests she comes over to support Gavin while he makes a report. Gavin calls the Department of Children and Families (the relevant agency in the Northern Territory) and makes a notification. Answer the following questions. 1.Did Gavin do the correct thing when he called his supervisor, or was this breaching confidentiality? Explain why.

The pain has been occurring for around a month now, on and off. You have spoken to Cindy’s mother about the problem and she has told you she has taken Cindy to the doctor but it was not an ear infection. You think that Cindy’s pain might be related to a dental issue, as sometimes she has difficulty eating and you can see one of her teeth seems to be a little decayed. You mention this to Cindy’s mum, but she says that she is a single mother who qualifies for Parenting Payment but cannot afford a dentist because of her low income. She tells you that dental care is not covered by Medicare and Cindy has never been to a dentist.
