Its release marks the completion of the national child safety training package for the early childhood education and care (ECEC) sector.

  • strengthen child-safe practices
  • embed accountability
  • create environments where children are safe, feel safe and receive support when concerns arise.

With all 5 courses now available, the national child safety training package supports people across ECEC to:

  • build child-safe cultures
  • recognise and respond to safeguarding concerns
  • support children's safety and wellbeing.
