- Respond appropriately and support children and young people who may be at risk.
- Apply child protection principles in the context of age, gender, disability, culture, and sexuality.
Participants will also gain an understanding of the legal and ethical frameworks that underpin child protection, including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, relevant legislation, duty of care, and ethical responsibilities.
This unit is ideal for educators, childcare workers, healthcare professionals, and community service workers who have a duty of care for children and young people and are required to act upon suspicions of risk or harm. It meets mandatory child protection training requirements under relevant state and territory legislation and protocols.
Upon completing CHCPRT025, participants will be equipped to confidently identify, respond to, and report situations where children or young people may be at risk, ensuring they fulfil their legal and ethical obligations to protect vulnerable individuals.
