Is your service ready for the new expectations on biological hazards? 🧤

Safe Work Australia has formally recognised Early Childhood settings as workplaces exposed to predictable biological hazards. In practical terms, providers are now expected to have documented systems, training and support in place for infection control and cleaning.

A few practical steps:

✅ Check that your cleaning and hygiene procedures are written down and current
✅ Ask a few Educators to explain their role in infection control – if they hesitate, you have found your training gap
✅ Keep your training records where you can easily find them if required
✅ Continue to rely on Staying Healthy in Early Childhood Education and Care Services for the how-to of gloves, PPE, disinfectants and safe disposal

Over the past 12 months, Early Childhood legislation has changed significantly — and with it, the mandatory training Educators must complete to legally work in Early Childhood, OSHC and Family Day Care.

If the recent legislative changes have left you second-guessing the training your Educators need, you're not alone. The new training requirements have caused uncertainty for some Approved Providers, Centre Directors, OSHC and Family Day Care Leaders.

Join Dr Mary Anne Hall for a free 45-minute Webinar that cuts through the confusion and sets out, clearly and state by state, the training your team needs to have in place.

Recent updates to the National Quality Standards have reinforced the need for Early Childhood Education and Care services, to follow the Child Safe Standards. Part of this commitment requires that organisations show how they are meeting these Standards.

Join Dr Mary Anne Hall as she discusses strategies for how Early Childhood Education and Care providers can implement these Standards, including the development of a framework whereby families and children can feel valued, safe, respected and included. The Webinar will also provide specific examples of how Educators can comply with the Standards as part of their daily practices and interactions with children and families.

This Webinar will highlight:
- Directors and Educators responsibilities in relation to documentation
- How Centre Leaders can incorporate the Standards into the management of their Educators and Team members
- How Services can develop a framework of child safety in their organisation
- How Educators can implement simple and inclusive strategies to prevent child abuse in their Centre
- Techniques for the safe hire of Educators
- How to promote safe and healthy relationships between Educators and children
- Techniques for the implementation of safe and active supervision in both physical and Online environments
- Training required to show commitment to the Child Safe Standards.

This Webinar is suitable for:
Approved Providers, Centre Directors, Early Childhood Educators, Teachers, OSHC Team Leaders and Family Daycare Coordinators.

It is particularly recommended for all Leaders who manage small teams and support their Centre through audits and the Assessment and Rating process.

Nearly 30% of all breaches were related to services and educators failing to protect children from hazards and harm.

When educators do not effectively and actively supervise the children in their care, the risk of harm dramatically increases.

The need for adequate supervision is particularly important in high risk activities – during sleep; when children are being transported; during excursions; or when working with children with additional needs.

If you are not supervising children appropriately you are exposing children to the risk of harm and failing in your duty of care.
