Are the responsibilities allocated to the authorised supervisor in Clause 77- Authority for excursions and Clause 78 – Conduct of excursions: general, allocated to the Family Day Care carer and the Home-Based carer?
A. Refer to Clause 77 – Authority for excursions and Clause 78 – Conduct of excursions: General. In family day care the authorised supervisor is the person named on the licence as the authorised supervisor and the responsibilities in these clauses fall to that person. This person is often known as the Coordinator of the service. In home-based care the carer is both the licensee and the authorised supervisors, so the responsibilities fall to the carer. Some clauses of the Regulation specifically allocate the responsibilities of the family day care authorised supervisor to the carer, such as Clause 64 – Programs for children, Clause 65 – Interactions with children and Clause 66 – Supervision of children.
