What You'll Gain – Key Outcomes

In this intensive two-day training, you'll develop practical, evidence-based tools to:

• Become a true protective factor — proactively create safe environments, boost self-esteem, strengthen social connections, and teach problem-solving to reduce vulnerability.
• Master the core themes — Embed “We all have the right to feel safe all the time” and “We can talk with someone about anything” into your daily practice.
• Build practical skills — Role-model personal safety, emotional awareness, assertive communication, bullying prevention, and child protection strategies.
• Improve workplace & team dynamics — Use psychosocial frameworks to foster safe, empowered teams that confidently challenge unsafe behaviours — leading to higher staff satisfaction and lower turnover.
• Create your own action plan — New! Draft an individual workplace self-assessment and improvement plan to build a protective culture in your setting.

Hands-on, inclusive sessions include role-playing, group discussions, and transferable exercises suitable for all ages

Why This Training Stands Out

• Official & Recognised — Quality-assured training aligned with the Protective Behaviours Association (PBA) standards. Completion opens the pathway to registered Practitioner membership with the PBA — the essential step toward Advanced Practitioner or Trainer levels.
• Delivered by Experts — Trained by internationally recognised, PBA-endorsed trainers with extensive experience.
• Proven Impact — Overwhelmingly positive feedback on the training's depth, practicality, and wide applications across settings.
• Universal Applicability — Skills that work in any context — education, community services, health, emergency services, detention, volunteering, and family life.

Who Should Attend?

Ideal for anyone working with children, young people, or vulnerable individuals:

• Early childhood educators & teachers
• School staff & education support workers
• Social workers, community service workers & support workers
• Health, medical, and emergency service professionals
• Council & government staff
• Volunteers
• Parents and carers — anyone committed to child safety

If you interact with or support vulnerable people, this training equips you to make a real difference.
