The PROTECT Child Safety eLearn and your school’s face-to-face child safety briefing contribute to annual child safety training requirements.
The face-to-face briefing builds on the content in the PROTECT Child Safety eLearn. It provides an opportunity for schools to have a local discussion about their child safety policy and practices.
Deliver this presentation to all school staff, including contractors undertaking child-related work in government schools.
Annual child safety training for staff is mandatory under the Child Safe Standards.
This presentation contributes to:
- annual staff training requirements for Child Safe Standard 8 - child safety knowledge, skills and awareness
- induction requirements for Child Safe Standard 6 - suitable staff and volunteers.
Schools may need to deliver the briefing more than once to ensure that
- as many staff as possible attend
- staff understand their child safety obligations after a child safety incident.
Schools should keep records of staff that attend the face-to-face training.
