Graduate Certificate
If you're experienced in working with people and communities, the Graduate Certificate of Safe Communities (Child Protection) can give you an entry point to specialist post-graduate qualifications.
You will work to gain specialist knowledge and skills to assess, manage, respond to and support the reduction of child abuse. The course is designed for people who are working, or seeking to work, in statutory child protection, including social workers, psychologists, police, teachers, youth workers, allied health workers and community workers.
The course aims to enhance your capacity if you're responsible for supporting vulnerable children and families within their communities. With an emphasis on prevention, innovation and collaboration you will be part of a learning community, drawing from research, knowledge and the expertise within community-led approaches to keeping children culturally, psychologically and physically safe.
This course consists of four units (one core, three specialist elective) aiming to advance the knowledge and skills of people working in the area of child protection.
