Supporting child wellbeing:
responding to and using the CISS effectively
Do you want to make a real change
in the lives of children and families?
As educators, you have first-hand experience of what it is like to support child wellbeing, and how important it is to plan for child wellbeing and safety in your centre. By attending this course accredited by the Department of Education and Training, you will build your skills to support the wellbeing and safety of children and families at your centre. We’re working with thousands of educators across Victoria to make child wellbeing and responsive practice a professional development priority.
Learn how to access tools to support children’s wellbeing
Educators are in a unique position to be able to proactively and reactively support and ensure children’s wellbeing and safety.
The Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS) in Victoria can help you make a difference.
That’s why United Workers Union has partnered with the Department of Education and Training to bring you training on how to use the Child Information Sharing Scheme effectively as part of your role as an educator.
What is the Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS)?
The Child Information Sharing Scheme expands legal permissions for authorised organisations to share information to support child well-being or safety. This ensures that professionals working with children can gain a complete view of the children they work with, making it easier for professionals to safeguard children’s wellbeing.
Enrol in training today to improve access to the CISS for your centre!
Together, we can stand together and make real changes in the lives of Victorian children.
