We regularly hold information sessions about the Child Safe Standards and Reportable Conduct Scheme.
These sessions are designed for people who lead and drive child safety within their organisations. They provide an overview to help you create a child safe organisation that:
- properly prevents, reports and responds to child abuse and harm
- meets the legal obligations of the Standards and the Scheme.
New sessions are added regularly, check back for updates.
