As you will be working with children in a significant capacity, it is a requirement that you have had training in learning to recognise signs of child abuse and how to report it.

Please click the link below to access the "Mandatory Reporting Online Training" course from the Department of Community Services.

Although you are not a mandatory reporter, completion of the training will provide:

a foundation to recognise and report a belief, based on reasonable grounds, that a child has been or is continuing to be sexually abused
an overview of Western Australia’s child protection system
information on:
- types and effects of abuse and neglect
- recognising and responding to sexual behaviours displayed by some children
- responding to disclosures of abuse.

The training is divided into three parts and each part has two modules. Each module focuses on a key information area followed by a short quiz. Allow up to two hours to complete the training.
