Updated Course

Keeping Children and Vulnerable People Safe

All children should be provided the time and secure space to flourish as children.

This course has been developed for volunteers and staff, to provide basic training on key issues relating to care and safety of children and vulnerable people in a community organisation context.

In recent years community trust has been eroded in the safety and care of children in our community institutions after many State and National inquiries into institutional behaviours on these issues. That trust has been further eroded in light of institutional failures to appropriately respond to victim’s needs.

It is within our grasp to improve these outcomes where a strong organisational culture and good practice can foster better protections for our children and ward off potential abusers.

This training provides an introductory foundation for elements of that practice, to assist practitioners across an array of roles within the organisation, where there is regular care of children and vulnerable people.
