Introduction to the Child Safe Standards - 10-11:30am
Who it's for
Our session on the Standards is for anyone who works in a child-related role and is new to the Child Safe Standards or needs a refresher.
What we'll cover
Taking steps to prevent harm and abuse to children and young people is known as being child safe. To be child safe, all child-related organisations in NSW should apply the Child Safe Standards as part of the Child Safe Scheme. They must provide environments that put the safety of children and young people first – every time.
Introduction to the Child Safe Standards helps organisations build capability to help them make sure child safe practices are central to their organisation’s values and how they operate.
To complement the session, download our Guide to the Child Safe Standards handbook.
Developing a Risk Management Plan - 12 to 2pm
Who it's for
Our session on how to develop a Child Safe Risk Management Plan is for anyone in child-related work responsible for child safety.
What we'll cover
As part of the Child Safe Scheme, all child-related organisations in NSW should apply the Child Safe Standards. Standard 8 refers to risk management where ‘physical and online environments minimise the opportunity for abuse to occur’. Child safety cannot occur without efficient risk management.
Our child safe trainers guide participants through our child safe risk management handbooks to help them understand how to develop a robust Child Safe Risk Management Plan to help keep children and young people safe from harm and abuse.
