OUR TRAINING
Understanding and embedding the Victorian child safe standards and the reportable conduct scheme
Introduction
This workshop aims to empower participants to understand and embed the Victorian Child Safe Standards (Standards) in their organisation to create a child safe organisation. A child safe organisation is defined as one that one that creates a culture, adopts strategies, and takes action to promote child wellbeing and prevent harm to children and young people. The workshop also helps participants to understand the Reportable Conduct Scheme (Scheme) and to respond to allegations of child abuse and misconduct in line with the Scheme.
The Standards are a set of mandatory requirements that ensure organisations have systems, policies, and practices in place to keep children safe from abuse and harm in organisational settings. The Standards aim to promote the safety of children, prevent child abuse, and ensure organisations have effective processes in place to respond to and report all allegations of child abuse. The Scheme oversees allegations of child abuse and misconduct and works collaboratively with Victoria Police to make sure allegations of criminal conduct are dealt with appropriately.
