Unenrolled children policy.

How we manage situations involving children who are not currently enrolled at the centre.

Policy code: MPOL 11 Last updated: July 2024

Aim: To ensure that educators and the service are only responsible for children who are

enrolled at our service to meet our legal requirements and child/staff ratios.

Implementation

  • On occasion, children who are not enrolled at our service may be present at the service.

  • An example of this is when families come to pick up an enrolled child and they bring their other children with them.

  • At times like this, the children who are not enrolled at the service are the responsibility of the adult that brought them to the service.

  • We ask these adults to keep unenrolled children off any equipment at the service, and for the child to be accompanied by the adult at all times.

  • Should a child who is not enrolled at the service attend an excursion with the service, they may only attend should the adult to child ratio not be compromised for enrolled children.

  • Any child that is enrolled at the service on a temporary basis will be included in the educator/child ratios.
