The Child Safe Standards:
What You Need to Know
The Royal Commission inquiry into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse was undertaken from 2013-2017. One of the Royal Commission’s key recommendations was that all child-related organisations should implement the Child Safe Standards.
These standards are considered to be the 10 critical elements that are necessary to create a safer environment for children and young people.
Testimonials
The module provided great explanations!
The module did a great job at explaining the science behind how/why people will respond to experiences. I enjoyed all of it - I believe it’s a beautiful thing to see the awareness of child safety and how we can positively help children enjoy swimming long term.
A significant step closer to compliance with the Child Safe Standards
I highly recommend Child Safe Training to every swim school. The online training is simple, easy to use and understand, and covers some important aspects of child safety. It is a step-by-step process to follow working toward meeting the 10 Child Safe Standards. I felt comfortable that we were a significant step closer to compliance with the Child Safe Standards and ensuring our instructors understood the importance of child safety.
Thank you for expanding awareness!
It was a good reminder to insure the child feels safe and comfortable in the environment and not to make them do things they don’t feel comfortable with. Thank you for expanding the awareness to all of our team, it not only makes a big step forward in our industry but also in the world.
