customised workshop or workshops to suit your learning needs.
101 Recognising and responding to child abuse
When a child dies from abuse or neglect someone always says “I knew
something was wrong but didn’t know what to do”. Find out what to
do when you are concerned about the welfare of a child. Identify the
support and help that is available.
102 What is normal? What is naughty?
Children’s behaviour can be a mystery at times. Learn to identify
children’s behaviour that might be of concern and recognise when
a behaviour is simply a typical part of a child’s development.
103 Preparing a comprehensive child protection policy
Would your organisation be able to stand up to public scrutiny if
something went wrong? This workshop covers the framework,
guidelines and rationale to develop a child protection policy for your
organisation.
104 Protecting children with disabilities
Children with disabilities can be at seven times greater risk of abuse
than other children. Learn how to reduce this risk factor and protect
these vulnerable children.
