About Working with Children Week 2025

What is Working with Children Week?

This year, NSW will celebrate its fifth Working with Children Week in recognition of over 1.9 million people who contribute to the lives of the state’s children in education, sports, arts and community organisations.

This annual event highlights child safety requirements in NSW, including the Working with Children Check and the Child Safe Standards.

2025 theme: Partners in keeping children safe

We’re here to work with organisations to develop their understanding of child safety requirements. Children are safer when organisations are equipped with the knowledge, skills and awareness to keep children safe through continual education and training.   
Organisations can commit to ongoing child-safe professional development in a number of ways:

• Include staff training obligations in Child safe policies 
• Seek out more advanced, specialised training for staff working in high-risk situations 
• Connect with the Office of the Children’s Guardian to receive expert advice and free resources. 

Work with us to develop and share your understanding of child-safe practices this Working with Children Week:

• Register for one of our sector-tailored eLearning courses.
• Give your WWCC records a health check and reach out if you need help with any part of the process. More information about WWCC compliance for organisations.
• Use our media kit to show your support for continual education and training in child-related organisations.
• Celebrate examples of child-safe learning in your organisation with the hashtag #WWCW2025.
