Childcare worker accused of putting toddlers life at risk gets compensated for distress123RF The children were in two adjoining rooms. A childcare worker who resigned, claiming she was "singled out" after she was accused of putting the health and safety of children at risk, has been compensated $8000 for distress. The children had been in two adjoining rooms, reserved for toddlers, that shared a common outdoor area. After the parents complained, Lee conveyed this to higher management, which led to her being suspended and asked to attend an disciplinary meeting over an allegation of serious misconduct. Another flaw was Murwari's suspension before the disciplinary meeting, the ERA said.
