Safeguarding children within our classrooms - Zoom Live - INDIVIDUAL
Course Overview:
Safeguarding Children: Supporting Child Safety in Early Learning Environments is a practical and powerful professional learning course designed for early childhood educators. It explores the everyday responsibilities educators hold in preventing harm, recognising signs of abuse, and creating child-safe environments in line with the National Quality Framework (NQF), Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and Child Safe Standards. Through a trauma-informed and respectful lens, this course addresses critical areas such as mandatory reporting, personal care routines, safe sleeping, and creating a protective culture for all children.
What Educators Will Learn:
Educators will develop a clear understanding of their legal obligations as mandatory reporters and feel confident applying the "see something, say something" approach in their everyday work. They will gain practical strategies to maintain professional boundaries, supervise children safely, respond to concerns, and support safe practices in nappy changing and sleep routines. This course empowers educators to reflect on their own safeguarding practices and equips them with the knowledge and tools to build safe, respectful, and empowering learning environments for every child in their care.
