You will write a short essay in which you examine why cultural safety is important for Indigenous children and their families in an early childhood setting. Be sure to use resources and learning activities from learning modules 1 and 2, including the prescribed text and references from your own research. Use the following points to guide you through the process: • Define your understanding of cultural safety in your own words (using supportive references). • Explain and examine how cultural safety benefits Indigenous students and their families in an early childhood setting. Use examples with references to support your argument. • Explain and analyse the interconnections between cultural safety and community involvement in an early childhood setting and how this influences knowledge and practice. Use examples with references to support your argument. PART B: Diagram and Explanation (950 words) You will design a diagram, which would be on display in an early childhood centre to parents and community members. Your diagram will illustrate multiple ways the centre supports cultural safety for Indigenous children and their families.
