Program description
Family Violence in a Child’s World is an online, self-paced training package which aims to enhance educators’ understanding of a child’s lived experience of family violence and how growing up in an unpredictable environment, filled with anxiety and dominated by fear, can impact on healthy development.
The training aims to build on educators’ existing capacity to recognise and respond to children who may be experiencing family violence, with a focus on increasing knowledge of how trauma affects development and attachment.
The training program focuses on developing educators’ skills in engaging children in a safe and supportive manner. The meaning behind a child’s behaviour can be identified through the provision of a supportive environment for the child’s voice and story to be heard.
The training aims to support educators to use their knowledge and skills, child observations, and information gathered from various sources, to speak confidently and safely with parents/caregivers where concerns have been identified. A framework is shared to support this engagement and includes recommended approaches, resources, and options for referring families on for further support.
