CHCPRT025 Identify and Report Children and Young People at Risk (RTO ID 90842)

Gain your child protection certification with the course that sets the standard for the sector
This comprehensive course covers everything early childhood education professionals need to know in order to feel confident and capable when it comes to child protection, no matter their level of experience.
CELA has been delivering child protection training as a Registered Training Organisation for over 15 years, and as a peak body for early education and care, we have been trusted by hundreds of services to educate their teams on this topic.
Our 3-part, APST aligned live webinar series covers the following areas:
- Legal requirements, including the responsibilities of mandatory reporters
- How to identify significant harm, dynamics of abuse and risk factors
- All reporting requirements for the early childhood sector
- What's required in the provision of child-safe environments
- Practical approaches for supporting children and young people who have experienced abuse, neglect and traumatic experiences.

Participants who successfully complete the related assessment task will be issued with a Statement of Attainment (SOA) for this unit. This SOA is Nationally Recognised. CELA RTO 90842 is not a CRICOS provider. We currently only accept enrolments of domestic students. Students must be working (either paid or as a volunteer) in a registered children’s service to meet the assessment requirements.
Please note: This course is only open to Australian citizens or permanent residents. By booking this course you declare that you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident.

You and the holder of the certificate will receive an email with the verification status.
Why should certificates be verified?
Students can apply for credit transfer for a unit of competency or portions of courses when enrolling in competency-based training in other RTOs. RTOs will verify the validity of these certificates to determine if the student is entitled to a credit transfer. This process can also apply to some university qualifications.
Employers (ECEC service providers) should include certificate verification as part of their recruitment process. This ensures that the certificates and qualifications presented are true, valid, and accurate. Certificate verification can be part of the implementation of child-safe standards (standard 5).
