Respectful Relationships training for early childhood professionals

Strengthen your skills to help children build resilience, confidence and respectful relationships.

The Respectful Relationships initiative is offering free training for early childhood professionals in government-funded kindergartens.

The online training will help early childhood professionals to promote respectful relationships, positive attitudes, and behaviours through their teaching and enable children to build healthy relationships, resilience, and confidence.

It aligns with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and the National Quality Standard.

The department will help cover the cost to replace staff who attend this training.
