Do you need information or are you looking for assurance in regard to problems such as:

  • Choosing safe babysitters, teachers, and early childhood services for your child?
  • At what age it's recommended that you start teaching a child about how to say no and what is safe and unsafe touch?
  • Whether to hand over a child to a dad who arrives drunk to collect and take his child home?
  • What to say and do when you see a mum physically abusing her child?
  • What to do when your boss says you have to report any suspicions of child abuse to him/her and not to the authorities?
  • How best you can respond when a child is suspected of having been abused at your early childhood centre or home and you think the finger is going to be pointed at you for no other reason than that you are male?
  • What good books, resources and training is available on child protection?
