Course description
The online workshops provide a focused and accessible introduction to delivering the Safe and Well: Harm Prevention Curriculum in classroom settings.
Participants can attend either:
– Two x 1-hour after school sessions, OR
– A single 2-hour 15min online workshop during scheduled student free days.
The workshops support Prep to Year 10 teachers and school-based support staff to build confidence in delivering Safe and Well, including understanding how the curriculum integrates Respectful Relationships and Consent Education (RRCE) with Child Sexual Abuse Prevention (CSAP) into a single, coherent and critical harm prevention curriculum delivered through the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education.
The sessions will address the key concepts and delivery principles from the full day face-to-face workshop, and maintain a strong emphasis on safe, inclusive and developmentally appropriate practice.
The workshops focus on:
- An overview of the intent, scope and structure of the Safe and Well curriculum for Prep to Year 10
- How RRCE and CSAP concepts are integrated within Safe and Well instructional materials
- Core trauma-informed and inclusive practices to enable support for safe delivery
- Practical classroom considerations and next steps for implementing Safe and Well
Participants will be supported to reflect on their own classroom contexts and build readiness to deliver Safe and Well consistently and confidently.
The workshops are suitable for teachers delivering Safe and Well, with attendance by wellbeing staff and professional support staff encouraged to support shared understanding and consistent practice across schools.
