The protective behaviours program will equip Queensland regulated early childhood services with the information, tools and strategies to embed practices which are high quality and consistently prioritised within their environments so that all children are safe and supported. The program will also explore six bush animal stories designed to help children explore notions of being safe and feeling safe.

Who should attend?
With thanks to the Queensland Government, this 4 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.
To promote equitable access to this opportunity, there is a limit on the number of registrations per service for each workshop. You may register up to 5 staff members at a time to attend workshops across the duration of this funding (July 2024 - September 2025). If you cannot make it on the day, or your situation changes, please contact us as soon as possible on qldscfc@napcan.org.au so that we can offer your spot to someone on the waiting list.
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.
For Training that is Online:
The terms and conditions of this training and certification require that all participants, including online attendees, must have their participation verifiable at all times. This requires that all participants must keep their cameras on and remain present in front of their screen for the entire duration of the training. Participants should keep themselves muted unless requested to answer questions by the trainer to verify understanding. This may occur at any point during the training. If participants do not comply with these terms and conditions, they will be ineligible for certification.
We strongly recommend that each person has their own computer and is in a separate space, as we will be using breakout rooms. We also suggest that you are not located in a space that children can hear what is being discussed or you use headphones.
