A Child Safety series
Join us for a three-part online series featuring three experienced and engaging speakers who are passionate about supporting children's safety and wellbeing.
Over three weeks, we will explore how children are exposed to family violence, the impacts this can have on their development and wellbeing, and how these experiences may be expressed through behaviour, emotions and play. We will discuss how to respond within the scope of your role while keeping children's safety, wellbeing and your duty of care at the forefront.
Our final session will be an interactive discussion exploring what it means to be a safe adult, the power of play, and how to embed child-centred approaches into everyday practice.
With two wonderful guest speakers and The Willow Centre's founder facilitating the series, you'll experience firsthand the expertise, knowledge and commitment that Anna, Meg and Kim bring to supporting children and the professionals who work alongside them.
