Case study An Aboriginal family is commencing at Velma’s service next week. The family includes two children, one aged 5 the other 7 years. The children haven’t been in a centre environment before and the mother, Harriet, seems quite reluctant and is not forthcoming with any type of information regarding her children. When participating in an orientation with the children during the week, she didn’t look at any staff members when they were speaking to her, ask questions or respond to questions being asked of her. 1. What may be some reasons why the mother avoided eye contact kept her head down and didn’t respond to questions regarding her children? Mother avoided eye contact may be because of lack of confidence or lack of language skills. May be because she is not ready to explore diverse people and not only of her community. 2. Describe potential reasons why the Aboriginal mother may be interacting in this manner, including social, political and economic issues relevant to the Aboriginal culture and heritage. In all social indicators, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples rate as among the most disadvantaged peoples in Australia.

Australia's Multicultural Access and Equity Policy: Respecting diversity. Improving responsiveness acknowledges that we live in a multicultural society, and there is an obligation on Australian Government departments and agencies to provide equitable access to services regardless of the cultural or linguistic background of clients. The impact of government policies has been particularly strong and very direct for many of the families who are the focus of this book; the state has been crucial in the migration experience and in the experience of Aboriginal families. The structure and composition of immigrant families are determined to a significant extent by regulations governing entry into Australia-initial entry of individuals and family units and then entry of other family members. Assistance with settlement, including the provision of English language classes, regulation of employment and access to and appropriateness of services are also crucial in determining the experience of families.

Candidate Instructions: CHCDIV002 Promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Safety V.1 Developed on the Review due on the 06/02/2015 - 2020 CHCDIV001 Work with diverse people – Assessments 8. Describe the relationship between human needs and human rights. One of the major problems in democratic societies is the confusion between needs and rights. By helping us understand our emotional needs, emotional intelligence helps us distinguish one from the other. For example, in certain countries I have the "right" to own deadly weapons, while in others I do not. The situation becomes even more complicated when we consider our desires as opposed to our needs. For example, I may desire a certain standard of living, but I do not have a right to any lifestyle I choose--instead I must earn it. While our needs come from nature, there really are no such things as "rights" in nature. Rights are a completely man-made fabrication which harks back to the days of kings and subjects. The kings treated the subjects badly so the subjects came up with a list of "rights". The kings agreed to certain "rights" but the kings still kept the power. To this day governments still control the power by deciding what the people's "rights" are. 9. List the frameworks, approaches and instruments used in your workplace. National Quality Framework including laws, legislation, regulations and sanders.

Part A A child does not make eye contact with their educator. Is it reasonable to assume this is a cultural norm, or should more be found out to see if it relates to the child’s confidence or communication skill development? If the child is nor making eye contact than we should focus on situations where he is not making eye contacts for example if asked something in group or individual or when he wants something or may be all the times. If the child is not making eye contact all the time or when asked something in group it can relate to child’s confidence. If we think it is due to cultural norm we should talk to his parents about the situation and then deal with it accordingly.

For example, I may desire a certain standard of living, but I do not have a right to any lifestyle I choose-instead I must earn it. While our needs come from nature, there really are no such things as "rights" in nature. Rights are a completely man-made fabrication which harks back to the days of kings and subjects. The kings treated the subjects badly so the subjects came up with a list of "rights". The kings agreed to certain "rights" but the kings still kept the power. To this day governments still control the power by deciding what the people's "rights" are.
