Spotlight on Child Safe Standards: Strategies for compliance for the Disability and Community Services 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

The Child Safe Standards are best practice for all organisations that work with children, including those in the Disability and Community Services Sector. In some states, this is now becoming a requirement under the Law.  


Join Dr Mary Anne Hall as she discusses strategies for how Disability and Community Service providers can implement these Standards, and create an organisation that ensures children and families are valued, safe, respected and included.


The Webinar will provide specific examples of how Disability and Community Service providers can comply with the Standards as part of their daily practices and interactions with children and families.
