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.

In recent years community trust has been eroded in the safety and care of children in our community institutions after many 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.

Safe Here and Kineo have joined forces enabling us to offer their course on ‘Keeping Children and Vulnerable People Safe’ built specifically for the New Zealand audience.

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.

After completing this course, you will understand:

• the need to keep children and vulnerable people safe
• personal and organisational safety management
• the issues of abuse and responding appropriately to incidents and suspected malicious behaviours, and
• how to support the rights of children and vulnerable people and create a safe environment for all.
