NSW Child Safe Standards and Child Protection Overview - For Leaders

Thank you! The session was well organised and presented.

The NSW Child Safe Standards were developed following the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. These standards provide organisations with a framework for ensuring child safe organisations and guide services to drive cultural change and keep children safe from harm.

This 3-hour interactive workshop will help service leaders and nominated supervisors to learn or refresh their knowledge of NSW Child Safe Standards and Child Protection Legislation in early childhood education and care settings, identify current practices, and recognise areas for improvement when supporting the implementation of the Child Safe Standards in your service.

The workshop covers the key concepts of child protection legislation, mandatory reporting and harm and abuse types. It will also provide participants with information on responding to disclosure, ethics and the law and talking with families.

Participants will gain access to a curated online resource library that also includes a reflection tool to help assess current practices and improvements to be made against the 10 child safe standards. You will be working through this reflection tool throughout the session and leave with an invaluable document to take back to your service and start the conversation with your teams on how to improve child-safe practices within the service.

Note: This workshop is for leaders, directors and nominated supervisors. Looking for a session for educators, teachers and team members? Book here.
