Managing Child Abuse Disclosures and Concerns
‘Managing Child Abuse Disclosures and Concerns’ is a 2.5-hour virtual classroom training program designed to provide participants with an understanding of reporting requirements and strategies for managing child safety and child protection concerns, incidents and allegations. Three scenarios are used during this session to work through organisational responses to child safety and child protection concerns. Guided by our experienced trainers, participants will work with the scenarios to develop an overall understanding of the following areas:
reporting to appropriate authorities
the importance of providing ongoing support to impacted or affected parties and
mitigating and managing immediate and ongoing risks.
Key Topics:
- An overview of key reporting legislation
- Key organisational roles and responsibilities
- Responding to incidents (scenarios):
1. involving staff and/or volunteers
2. involving sexually harmful behaviour (between children) and
3. involving families
