German term

Aufsichtspflicht

German to English Other Education / Pedagogy
In the context of caring for children (eg mein Aufsichtspflicht als Erzieherin)-- looking for a phrase that will be immediately clear to English-speaking colleagues, not a legal term. "Duty of care" is a bit legalistic.

Aufsichtspflicht
• Alle MA sind jederzeit für alle im Garten spielenden Kinder verantwortlich.
• MA müssen, wenn Sie mit ihrer Gruppe in den Garten gehen, oder den Garten wieder verlassen, die Anzahl der Kinder überprüfen.

Thanks!

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): TechLawDC

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Just duties I would have just entitled this 'Duties' as it is pretty self-explanatory. I guess I am more of a minimalist in this respect.

Less legalistic, think it conveys what’s meant here

Responsibility to supervise children

The point of that heading is not to prepare the reader for a list of child care duties but to draw attention to the single most important aspect of the job: "childcare providers have a responsibility to supervise children at all times, have a duty to put down their cell phones to ensure that a child’s social, emotional, and safety needs are met, and have a responsibility to provide age-appropriate activities and premises that won’t result in injuries." https://www.cooper-law-firm.com/longview-tx/childcare-injury...

Notice that the German term doesn't use the plural form. Without being legalistic, the use of singular form alone suggests to me that the focus here is to remind the reader of the (awesome) responsibility of watching children in general. Notice also that the bullet points are better suited to illustrate what specific actions are needed to control children at all times rather than provide a laundry list of various childcare duties.
