Child Safe Roadshow - ECEC Sessions

A day of interactive workshops for those working in ECEC organisations to better understand and implement the Child Safe Scheme.

These workshops are only for early childhood education and care services

Learn more about the Child Safe Scheme and how to further implement strategies to keep children and young people safe from harm and abuse in ECEC settings.

The day will be broken into different workshop sessions. Please see the days agenda below:

9:30am - 11:00am - Child Safe Recruitment in ECEC

• This session will equip early childhood education and care (ECEC) service leaders and staff to understand child safe recruitment practices and staffing and apply best practice principles within their service context. There will be time to discuss the importance of a child safe culture in hiring and keeping workers who prioritise child safety. Leaders will be able to share practices in child safe recruitment crucial to mitigating risks. This session is for leaders of services.

11:00am - 11:30am - Morning tea and networking

• An opportunity to network with other organisations in the area to discuss your child safe journey.

11:30am - 12:45pm - Child Safe Standards and Risk in ECEC

• This session will review the NSW Child Safe Standards in practice for educators and leaders in ECEC services. Identifying and responding to child safe risks is a significant component of implementing the Standards and providing a child safe service. Understanding the risks and how they can lead to the harm or abuse of children helps to establish appropriate mitigation measures. We will discuss a range of scenarios and identify best practices to mitigate and manage risks in the different environments of your service.

12:45pm - 1:15pm - Q&A

• An opportunity to ask any questions you may have from the day, or specific information on child safe topics you would like to put forward for more information.
   

We encourage participants to attend all sessions to strengthen your child safe knowledge.
