Training that elevates early childhood education and care

• Have you ever wondered what consent looks like with very young children?
• Not sure where to begin with body safety education?

This webinar supports early childhood professionals to build a clear understanding of respect, body safety and consent in practice. You will gain practical strategies and confidence to introduce and embed these concepts with infants, toddlers and preschoolers in meaningful, age-appropriate ways.

Building strong, secure relationships takes time and intentionality. Children experience a wide range of emotions, and educators can sometimes feel unsure about how best to respond. The reflections explored in this session offer clear guidance and practical tools to support educators in meeting children’s needs across the full emotional spectrum.

Through a range of activities such as identifying key times for supervision, risk assessments and supervision plans, this session will enable participants to have a conscious understanding of what active supervision means in their daily practice in order to engage with children while maintaining their safety.

Leaders play a vital role in creating a culture where children are heard, valued, and safe. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to strengthen governance, support staff, and embed practices that prevent harm and build trust. Together, we’ll explore practical tools and scenarios that help you lead with care and confidence.
