Description

The ChildSafe Level 2 – Team Leader Training is designed for school leaders, year level coordinators, wellbeing staff, and other staff with supervisory responsibilities in an independent school environment. Building on the foundational knowledge from Level 1 training, this course focuses on the practical leadership responsibilities required to support a strong child-safe culture within a school. Participants explore how leaders promote safe practices within their teams, support staff in recognising and reporting concerns, and implement systems that reduce risks to students in both physical and online environments. The training equips leaders with practical strategies to guide staff, strengthen reporting culture, and ensure child safety is embedded in everyday school operations
