Child Protection is the process of preventing and responding to children suffering or likely to suffer from significant harm and is enshrined in early childhood through various laws, policies and standards that aim to safeguard the rights and wellbeing of children.
Within our communities children and young people are the most vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, and neglect. This is due to being dependent on adults to meet their basic needs, their voices and needs are often not heard in an adult world and in some cases, they are not seen as contributing or equal members of our community. Children do not have the ability to choose their social or physical environments they live in, and it is for all these reasons we have many child protection organisations to help protect these children.
As an educator it is important to understand your role and responsibility in keeping children safe and how to identify and respond to children at risk.
How Will I Learn?
At Making Education, we want to make a difference by making it different.
We have redesigned what eLearning means, to bring you a sequenced and well thought out learning experience.
As you navigate this course, you will find that you have a facilitator guiding you on your journey. This will be used to ensure you stay on the right path and always know where you’re at.
Milestones and modules will also be used to break up the information into bite sized pieces, so that it all makes sense.
Quizzes and questions will provide you with learner feedback, helping you to get a sense for where you’ve been, and where you’re going on the journey.
Further learning and extension activities are also scattered throughout the course to provide you with rich reflection and opportunities to extend your knowledge further.
At the end of each section, you will be guided back to how this might be transferred to an early learning work environment to support you in implementing high quality education and care for all children.
For the best learning experience, we recommend full engagement with the learning materials and following the reflective prompts, questions and further learning tasks which will assist you to turn theory and knowledge into hands on practices and strategies.
Our eLearning modules are indented to provide learners with hands on and real world strategies, ideas and concepts which are ready to be implemented in your current workplace, whether that be a daycare, childcare, early learning or family day care environment.
At Making Education, we also advocate and recommend that once you have finished, you don’t rush on to the next task but instead sit for at least 10 – 15 minutes upon completion to reflect on your learning and let it sink in. This thinking time will support you to more effectively turn what you’ve just learnt into actionable steps to update and add to your current practices.
Underpinning this course are our in-house designed and developed Course Learning Outcomes (CLO’s).
L.O 1 – To know your obligations and required duty of care while working as an educator within an early childhood service.
L.O 2 – Understand and Identify the different types of abuse and their indicators.
L.O 3 – Demonstrate an awareness for how to best respond to identified or disclosed cases of abuse, including documenting and escalating the case through appropriate reporting channels.
L.O 4 – Build on your knowledge of how you can create a child safe environment and use sector best practice to support your child protection work within your context.
L.O 5 – Develop a robust practice toolkit in responding and working with child protection in young children.
L.O 6 – Be equipped with the necessary understanding to confidently conduct your role, and following your training obligations.
Being that this is a short course refresher training for Early Childhood Educators, we will be using micro-modules to categorise and break down the information into byte-sized chunks of eLearning content. Each module is designed to contain roughly 3 – 5 minutes of content. You are more then welcome to come and go from the learning, but it has been designed to be completed comfortably in one sitting.
