Queensland Protective Behaviours Training

With thanks to the Queensland Government, this 3 hour workshop is provided free to all regulated LDC, Kindy, FDC and OSCH services who are based in Queensland. This program is aimed at educators and teachers working within a service. As Mandatory Reporters working in ECEC, we all have a responsibility to protect children from child abuse and harm. Please note that we will be discussing issues relating to child sexual assault and grooming behaviours and whilst this will be done in a safe environment, we encourage you to consider if this workshop is for you. Children rely on the adults in their lives to ensure that they are valued and loved, respected, and protected from all forms of abuse and neglect. Child safety and wellbeing is a shared responsibility and requires a commitment from all members of the community.

NAPCAN’s Safer Communities for Children protective behaviours approach (SCFC) reinforces the collective role that the early childhood sector, communities and individuals have in keeping children safe, thriving and having the ability to reach their full potential. SCFC aims to build resilience, communication, emotional literacy and help-seeking skills in children.

Research suggests that children who have access to protective behaviours programs are significantly less likely to experience abuse.

Join us as we explore the SCFC materials (along with a host of other resources) which you can adapt and use in your service. Gain an understanding of how this program can fit within a child safeguarding approach across your program. Together, we can work to ensure that every child, in every service, is free from harm, every day.
