Ministerial Order 1359
Description
These self-paced online learning modules are designed for school leaders and staff. This professional learning will deepen knowledge and understanding of the Child Safe Standards, so that schools can ensure their policies, procedures and practices are compliant with Ministerial Order 1359, and child safety is prioritised and reflected across all dimensions of the school culture.
Our online learning modules are designed to equip school leaders and staff with the knowledge and understanding to ensure child safety is prioritised and compliance with the Child Safe Standards is embedded across the school. These modules support schools to create, strengthen and maintain a child-safe environment; emphasising prevention of child harm and ensuring children's safety and wellbeing in a school setting. The 8 modules offer self-paced, interactive content, including scenario-based examples and quizzes, to deepen participants' knowledge, understanding and practice. Each module is crafted to ensure participants can engage at their own pace, with progress saved as they advance, making it convenient to complete in a single session or at different times.
