OSCAR safeguarding & child protection (webinar)

OSCAR safeguarding & child protection (webinar)

A three-hour webinar that covers the core knowledge and skills for all staff to maintain organisational safety and to identify & respond to child well-being and safety concerns. This is a good option for staff undertaking safeguarding training for the first time.

Our facilitators have all held OSCAR roles and so this course will follow closely the particular characteristics of OSCAR programmes. 

Topics

• Recognising vulnerable children

• Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and impacts on development, health, and well-being

• Different types of harm, categories and possible indicators of abuse

• Disclosures and how to respond safely

• Reporting, referring and recording concerns

• Allegations against staff

• Safe practices when working with children

• Promoting a safeguarding culture in your programme and organisation

“All of these are bricks in our wall to help mitigate child safety risks.”  A substantial workbook is provided for all participants and this provides a valuable resource for future professional practice.

We can also offer this course as an in-person workshop, as well as a shorter evening option for in-house training of staff teams (some eLearning required prior to the workshop.)  Please email oscn@xtra.co.nz for more information.

Webinar cost: $60.00 per person for OSCN members ($55-00 per person if 3 or more people attending) $90.00 per person for non-members. Fee includes printing and postage of workbook prior to the course.

No payment is required for initial registration or a booking enquiry. Confirmation and more details of the course are sent by email, once a booking has been made. We only charge for actual attendance at our courses.
