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.

WACOSS Workshop: Strengthening Child Safety Through Organisational Culture, Child Participation and Equity

This interactive workshop supports Community Service Organisations and Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations in strengthening child-safe practices through organisational culture, meaningful child participation, and inclusive practice.

Through reflective discussion and practical activities, participants will:

• Reflect on their organisation’s current approach to child-safe practices and culture

• Learn how to embed meaningful child participation using the Lundy Model (Space, Voice, Audience, Influence)

• Strengthen equity and inclusion for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, CALD communities, children with disability, and LGBTIQA+ young people

This workshop is aimed at small to medium-sized Community Service Organisations (CSOs) and Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) working with children and young people in Roebourne and surrounding areas.

Suitable for:

• Frontline staff and volunteers
