Individuals who hold the daily managerial responsibilities play a crucial leadership function in ensuring that effective decisions are executed to fulfill all the legal obligations outlined in the Education and Care Services National Law and Regulations while the service is operational. This individual, referred to as the “Responsible Person” as defined by the law, could be the Approved Provider, Nominated Supervisor, or, in cases of their unavailability, another designated individual(s) within the service. 

 You might have been invited to take on the role of the Responsible Person in addition to your role as an educator. While the legal framework defines this role, it’s important to understand its implications and requirements. What are your specific legal responsibilities? On the other hand, if you’re a provider or part of a committee, you might be interested in knowing what skills and background are necessary to meet the legal mandates. This comprehensive full day course, divided into four sections is rooted in legislative guidelines. It delves into the responsibilities of the Responsible Person and provides insights into the optimal process of selecting an appropriate candidate within your service.
