Creating a Child Safe Organisation

In October, 2024, the Skills Ministers endorsed the revised Standards for Registered Training Organisations (Standards), with planned implementation in July, 2025. The Training Accreditation Council (Council) has developed this webinar, in collaboration with Child Safety specialists, WA Council of Social Services, WACOSS, to address key topics under the Governance Quality Area of Risk Management 4.3(d). In this webinar the Council and Fiona Costello, Child Safe Manager at WACOSS, cover: 1. Principles of a Child Safe Organisation based on National Principles on Child Safety; and 2. Mandatory reporting requirements of child abuse under the Reportable Conduct Scheme. This webinar is highly recommended for RTOs registered with the Council that offer training and/or assessment to learners aged under the age of 18 (particularly young persons aged 14-17).
