Child Safety training for your teams, across Local Government and Council, at all levels of responsibility.
Child Safety is a key focus of Local government and Councils. Child safety training for your team is critical to ensure community well-being, equip leaders, and safeguard our youngest citizens.
There are 537 councils Australia-wide. Of these, around 55% are regional, rural, or remote councils. The local government employs 194,000 people, which is nearly 10% of the total public sector. The local government has an important role in local service delivery and support of local organisations, businesses, and residents.
Many local governments directly deliver services to children and young people, including child and maternal health, childcare, early learning centres and kindergartens, before and after school care, and youth services. Local governments strongly focus on child safety and ensure that their staff are educated on child safety issues and how to respond.
