Child Safe Roadshow - Cumberland
A day of interactive workshops for those working in a child-related organisation to better understand and implement the Child Safe Scheme.

The day will be broken into different workshop sessions. Please see the days agenda below:
9:00 - 10:30am - Child Safe Overview and Risk Management

The principles are adaptable to the individual circumstances of your organisation or programs.
10:30 - 11:00am - Morning tea and networking

11:00am - 12:30pm - Standards in practice - Guest Speaker

- This session will equip leaders and staff to understand child safe recruitment practices and staffing and apply best practice principles within their organisation's context.
