We ask leading outside school hours care services what they do to ensure that every family that walks through their door feels they belong.

After watching the video, try these reflective questions, either individually or at your next staff meeting or PD session:
• How does planning in the video show Outcome 1 of VEYLDF – Children have a strong sense of identity?
• What do these services do to ensure that every family that walks through their door feels they belong?
• How do the relationships shown in the video demonstrate the Victorian framework Practice Principle 4 – Equity and diversity?
• What methods of communication do the OSHC services in the video use to share information with families?
• How do you ensure your practices consistently support families to be active contributors and decision-makers? How do these practices capture transient or casual families or families with English as a second language?
• What is one new practice you could consider implementing that will support families to be active contributors and decision-makers at your service?
• How can you build, strengthen and maintain respectful partnerships between family and community stakeholders to support Practice Principle 1 – Family-centred practice and Practice Principle 2 – Partnerships with families?
