There is a person in charge (Responsible Person) for each section –Infants / Toddlers, Kindergarten / Afterschool. These persons have been deemed fit for this responsibility and are able to make judgments, respond to incidents, communication and ensuring that the service meets compliance obligations. The responsible person for these occasions is nominated on the roster, which is placed at the front of each section.
