Proudly New Zealand's only provider of child safeguarding and protection training specifically for Governance and Leadership.
This training is critical for organisations wishing to be or remain a Child Safe Organisation. Governance and leadership are the roots of an organisation. They determine an organisation's child safety priorities and practices and establish its safeguarding culture.
Here, executive staff can explore what is needed to be a child-safe organisation and how safeguarding and child protection relates to their specific roles and responsibilities in accordance with child safety best practices, the foundations of child safeguarding accreditation models and recommendations noted in New Zealand's Abuse in Care Royal Commission of Inquiry’s final report - Whanaketia – Through pain and trauma, from darkness to light.
As well as exploring the below, this engaging and informative 1.5-hour course helps learners develop the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary to ensure:
- Their organisation can effectively implement and embed child safety best practices and create a safeguarding culture.
- Their child safety developments, achievements, and outcomes can be suitably monitored and reviewed at the highest level via qualitative data collection.
- Those responsible and accountable for organisational child safety can be confident in the organisation, showing and evidencing a safeguarding culture that exceeds legislative compliance.
From an awareness basis, we also recommend that staff in designated child safety roles or those with specific child safeguarding responsibilities undertake this learning.
