Building capacity for child safety: Child Safe Organisations e-learning suite
‘I think this is an excellent resource and great that it’s free. It is good that it is interactive, easy to
understand and is focused on children and young people’.
Survey respondent
The Commission developed the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations which were endorsed by the
Council of Australian Governments on 19 February 2019.
In August 2019, a suite of 11 Child Safe Organisation e-learning modules were launched as part of this
program. The modules are designed to help organisations increase their knowledge and understanding of
the National Principles and identify the steps they need to take as they work towards implementing them.
These are available at no cost to any organisation or interested party.
Since the launch, over 10,000 people have registered to use the modules to assist them in making changes
to policy and practice, and to protect and promote children’s human rights in their context.
Users were asked to complete an optional online evaluation survey. To date, nearly 5,000 respondents
have completed the survey, which captured demographics, process feedback around content and useability,
early outcomes in regard to knowledge, satisfaction, benefit, and improvements.7 Key findings are shown in
figure 3 below.
