Having followed this case, it is clear this nursery did not have a positive safeguarding culture in place. Why did other staff not intervene? Why was this staff member’s obvious dislike for Genevieve not picked up and considered unusual? Did staff actually know how to report concerns? Or was this staff member also the DSL? We must learn lessons from this tragic case. Does your setting have a positive safeguarding culture? Do staff know how to report and refer any concerns? Did the fact this staff member was the deputy manager prevent staff from reporting? Was she also the DSL? In your setting, do ALL staff, students, apprentices and visitors know: 1) what constitutes a safeguarding concern 2) who they report it to 3) how they can escalate a concern if not taken seriously, including if it is about a senior member of staff, or the DSL 4) how they can refer directly to LADO and know how to do this Let’s make sure this never happens again. RIP Genevieve 💔 #safeguarding #safeguardingchildren #whistleblowing

ENVR Project Profile - Active Kids Childcare Centre Not all wastewater systems need to be large to be successful. Active Kids Childcare Centre was one such development where ENVR designed and installed an small size Orenco AdvanTex® system, using AX20 textile filters. Sub-surface irrigation from the system is being used to water the natural bushland surrounding the Centre. #wastewaterequipment #wastewatertechnology #waterreuse #wastewaterreuse #sustainablewatertreatment #wastewatermanagement #sustainablewastewater #wastewater #water #wastewatertreatment #watertreatment #cleanwater #construction #wastewatertreatmentplant #sustainability #environment #septicsystem #waterislife #waterquality Orenco Systems, Inc.

[This is just a DRILL!] If you thought caring for an elder with physical or cognitive conditions is challenging, try caring for 50 at the same time daily. At St Luke's ElderCare Anchorvale Daycare, we take falls so seriously our staff came up with a skit to illustrate how falls can happen and what our elders can do to prevent it. Depending on an elder's condition, they might require assistance with ambulation and toileting. In different situations, complacency and overconfidence leads to accidents and we have to constantly remind elders on safety awareness and risk taking. Pushing for innovative programmes has to be balanced with risks, yet safety cannot be compromised. 1 fall is 1 fall too many. Appreciate the team's constant willingness to push boundaries despite a perpetual lack of manpower. Glenise L. #anchorvaledventures
