PB WEST Protective Behaviours Training

This is not “rare.”

Queensland police have charged a man accused of targeting children via social media and gaming platforms, coercing and grooming victims aged 7–15 into sending sexual images — over 23,000 pieces of material and 596 separate offences.

Let me say that again: Hundreds of victims. Multiple platforms. Messaged and groomed online.

This isn’t about apps being bad. It’s about a digital ecosystem that normalises contact before oversight.

If you don’t understand:

- How predators create fake identities
- Why shame stops disclosure
- Why legal systems can lag behind tech

… then you are letting ignorance replace education.

How can we increase CHILD SAFETY ?

What else can we do?

What are we missing ?

WE ARE MISSING the opportunity to maximise the PROTECTIVE FACTORS in a child’s environment.

YOU- YOUR TEAM- YOU have the potential to be the difference in child safety. YOU need the skills to be an effective PROTECTIVE Factor in child’s life.

RELYING ON TEACHING the child and the CHILD learning personal safety strategies, IS NOT ENOUGH and does not equate to the adults around them being protective factors.

SKILL UP BE THE BEST PROTECTIVE FACTOR YOU CAN BE.

Paedophiles exploiting Australia’s broken childcare system – we’ve been sounding the warning alarm for quite some time.

Adele Ferguson’s latest investigation on ABC’s Four Corners is devastating, but sadly not unexpected.

For years, PBWest has been advocating for better training, cultural change, and real support and training for the educators and carers on the frontline. A quick scroll through our posts confirms it: we’ve been cajoling, encouraging, and sometimes pleading with centres to go beyond the bare minimum.

Here’s what we hear every single time we run a fundamental train:
✅ Childcare workers want more training.
✅ They want more staff and a supportive environment.
✅ They’re the first to flag what’s broken and how to make it safer.

Yet too often they’re forced to compromise best practice against owners who treat childcare as a lucrative business model, often resulting in high turnover, and cost cutting

In every centre I’ve trained, staff ask for the comprehensive 2-day Protective Behaviours program. They know this is the training that:
🔹 Shifts culture
🔹 Embeds protective factors
🔹 Equips them to spot, respond, and prevent harm
And yes—the majority of centres that commit to this training are not-for-profits. It’s in their values - children first.

We can’t keep patching a crumbling system.

November 24th and 25th 2025 Protective Behaviours Training – 2 days, fully accredited, life-changing.

Let’s stop reacting. Let’s start protecting.
