Child protection is at the heart of out-of-home care. Every child has the right to safety, stability, and a nurturing environment—yet many enter care because of abuse or neglect. As a carer, you play a vital role in recognising the signs, responding appropriately, and being part of a system that protects children and promotes healing.
Key Learning Areas
- How to identify and respond to abuse and neglect with confidence
- The different types of child abuse and their impact on children’s lives
- Definitions and warning signs that every carer must know
- Real-world case studies showing the realities children in care have faced—and how carers can make a difference
This course equips you not just with knowledge, but with the awareness and tools to act, protect, and advocate for the children and young people who need it most.
