CASWA Child Safe Project - Awareness Raising Workshop for the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations (Broome)

CASWA Child Safe Project Workshop

Awareness Raising of the National Principles for a Child Safe Organisation through a Cultural Perspective

This session focuses on developing understanding of the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations through a culturally grounded lens.

Designed for frontline staff and practitioners, the workshop explores how child safety is understood and applied in practice, with a strong emphasis on the role of culture, relationships, communication and community connection in creating environments where children and young people feel safe, supported and heard.

Through discussion and reflection, participants will:

• Build practical understanding of the National Principles in an ACCO and community context

• Explore how cultural safety and child safety work together in practice

• Reflect on how child safety shows up in everyday interactions and service delivery

• Strengthen confidence in responding to concerns and supporting children to feel heard

This is a strengths-based and interactive session that values shared learning, lived experience and community perspectives.
