Mitigating Child Safety Risks

Embed risk management that protects children, staff, and organisations.

Child safety risks aren't confined to a child's personal environment. The Royal Commission has shown how they can also arise within organisations and community environments. Royal Commissions, case reviews and all other experience learnings frequently highlight two common failings in children’s workforce organisations: a lack of risk management processes or risk management structures that overlook or deprioritise child safeguarding and protection.

This training is essential for organisations looking to develop their essential safeguards or become a Child Safe Organisation. Designed for strategic-level learners, this engaging and interactive training provides a safeguarding and child protection lens on organisational risks and effective risk mitigation strategies across the spectrum of vulnerability.

This training is especially valuable for those in influential and/or decision-making roles and is available as:

Facilitated In-Person Training
Facilitated Exclusive Online Classes via our Virtual Classroom

Children wearing high-vis vests, representing organisational responsibility for child safety risk management and mitigation.

Effective child safety risk mitigation is critical for the well-being of children, staff, and the organisation itself, helping to prevent serious risks from arising and significantly reducing the impact of those that do.

By the end of this class, learners will be able to:

Recall common organisational child safety risks and vulnerabilities highlighted through case learnings.
Strengthen organisational accountability by establishing child safety as a distinct and prioritised risk area.
Identify child safeguarding strategies that can be created or integrated into organisational risk management frameworks, ensuring a holistic and sustainable approach.
