Under the National Quality Framework, anyone placed in the day-to-day charge of a service must have training in child protection in order to be recognised as the responsible person or nominated supervisor. We understand that it’s not always possible to attend your training in person, so we offer an online self-paced version of our popular child protection statement of attainment.

The session covers legal requirements, including the responsibilities of mandatory reporters, teaches how to identify significant harm, dynamics of abuse and risk factors, and all reporting requirements for the early childhood sector (our information focus is NSW, but we provide relevant reporting information for participants from other states). It also outlines what's required in the provision of child-safe environments and teaches practical approaches to supporting children and young people who have experienced abuse, neglect and traumatic experiences. 

Participants who successfully complete the related assessment task will be issued with a Statement of Attainment (SOA) for this unit. This SOA is Nationally Recognised.

Students must be working (either paid or as a volunteer) in a registered children’s service to complete the assessment requirements.
