Child Protection

Child Protection is an important Unit of Work in Stage 3.

It contains three themes:
- Recognising Abuse
- Power in Relationships
- Protective Strategies

The documents assist Teachers in implementing child protection education within the framework of the NSW Board of Studies, Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) Years K-6 syllabus.

It provides curriculum materials to assist in developing student knowledge and understanding about child protection issues and skills in protective behaviours. It also supports teachers in the delivery of child protection education by discussing key concepts in child protection education, teaching strategies, community involvement and dealing with sensitive issues.

The curriculum support website containing all materials is here:

My presentation on 'Recognising Abuse' is available here, although it is locked by a password.
Same goes for the support material located here.
