The service director has called a team meeting, and informed staff that the service is being assessed by the Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority in three months' time. It has been three years since the last assessment and rating. 

You are nominated by the team to oversee the self-assessment process that should be undertaken. You and the team must make a quality improvement plan prior to the ACECQA assessment. 

1. Develop a plan to help you organise a self-assessment of the service where you work, to ensure the service meets the goals, outcomes, principles, and practices of the framework, all seven quality areas of the National Quality Standard, legislation and other relevant frameworks. In your plan, describe who you will liaise with and how, the type of information you need to collect and the actions you will take to facilitate the self-assessment.
