It recognises the unique challenges faced in ensuring a child safe environment and offers two modules, one for frontline workers and one for management staff.

It provides clarity on expectations, legal requirements, and best practices, taking approximately 45 minutes to complete.

A new section on training and education is tailored to aquatic and first aid delivery contexts.
