Spotlight on Child Safe Standards: Strategies for compliance for the Early Childhood, Education and Care Sector

In the care sector, safeguarding children starts with who and how you hire, how you manage staff, and how you act when concerns arise — often under challenging and emotionally charged circumstances.


In response to the many questions on recruitment and the law from our last Webinar, EPEC Education is bringing in legal expertise to go deeper into this topic.


Join Dr Mary Anne Hall in conversation with Annie Smeaton, Partner at Cooper Grace Ward Lawyers, as they share practical, strategies for recruiting safely, addressing staff-related concerns, and making decisions that balance your duty of care with your legal obligations.

Your Host:

Dr Mary Anne Hall – CEO, EPEC Education.  Former Approved Provider of 17 Outside School Hours Care and Long Daycare services, Mary Anne draws on 20 years of frontline and leadership experience to deliver practical, child-safety-focused training.

NEW FREE WEBINAR

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.
