Training
Safer practice for children and young people
Safe Environments training in the Murraylands, plus tailored organisational training on request.
I deliver Safe Environments: Through Their Eyes training for people and organisations who work with, or care for, children and young people.
The program was developed by the Department of Human Services (SA) to help organisations recognise, report, and respond when a child or young person may be at risk of harm, and to build safer environments across the organisation.
Safe Environments: Through Their Eyes
I am available to be booked as a Safe Environments for Children and Young People trainer.
This full-day training supports staff, volunteers, carers, and managers to understand protective practice, mandatory reporting obligations, and how to create child safe environments in everyday work.
This training helps organisations to:
- Support staff and volunteers to recognise, report, and respond when a child or young person may be at risk of harm
- Build capacity to provide safe environments within the organisation
- Align practice with the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations
What the course covers
- Child protection in context
- Values and attitudes
- Legislative obligations when working with children and young people
- Risk and harm, including abuse-related trauma
- Sexual abuse and online grooming
- Responding to disclosures
- Child safe environments in organisations
- Reporting a reasonable belief of risk and harm
Types of risk and harm
Participants learn to understand types of risk of harm to children and young people, including:
Who this training is for
- Staff and volunteers who provide services to children and young people
- Carers and support workers
- Educators and school teams
- Managers responsible for child safe environments
- Community, disability, and welfare organisations
Relevant sectors include
Child safe environment training is not required by law for every individual. Each organisation decides what training staff and volunteers need. Best practice is to refresh training every 3 years.
People working in schools, early childhood services, or Out of School Hours Care may be required to complete Department for Education RRHAN-EC training instead of, or in addition to, Safe Environments: Through Their Eyes.
