Child Safe Principles course – gain clarity and understanding

Are you finding it hard for your educators to understand the Mandatory Government Geccko Training?

There is so much "information overload" around this Mandatory Training, and it's putting Centre Supervisors  and Directors under even more pressure to find help for their Educators.

This short course is designed for early childhood educators who want clarity and understanding of how the Child Safe Principles are implemented in everyday practice. 

We will help you to fill the gap between what you know and what you need to know to successfully complete the Geccko Training.

The course explores what it means to create a child safe culture, and supports educators in recognising their role in keeping children safe, respected, and empowered.

We will help you take the confusion out of this important subject and replace it with clarity, confidence and competence.

 

We all came to childcare driven by a passion to care for and teach young children. To build their skills in these early formative years, so they can go out and thrive in the wider world.

And it comes with a crucial responsibility: to keep children safe.

    • Parents entrust us with THE most precious part of their lives.
    • It is the No 1 promise a childcare Centre makes.

This course meets the ACECQA and NQF requirements for your Centre’s accreditation and keeps you compliant.

Enrol now and you could be finished less than two hours.

Just $49 to be more competent and confident.
