Role Modelling/Consultancy Service Visits
PSCWA have identified a need for change in delivering customised support in 2010. PSCWA will be encouraging services to attend Calendar PD workshops, instead of organising additional customised evening PD sessions at individual services. PSCWA will now be offering child care services who access and attend a Calendar Professional Development workshop the opportunity to request a individual consultancy visit at their service as a follow up during the day with the same facilitator that facilitated the Professional Development workshop. The focus of this support is for the facilitator to provide role modelling with early childhood educators on the floor and therefore directly linking theory to practice.
PSCWA have decided to offer this type of support because of recent research that has identified the importance of continual learning and the ability to apply newly learnt skills to enhance positive outcomes for children and families.

VENUE : Little Champs Playhouse
U13/9 : Parkes Street Cockburn Central
PRICE: $40.00 each or $60.00 per double
Whilst the task of keeping children safe and preventing abuse appears daunting for most parents teaching the Protective Behaviours Program is not. The program once taught should not be seen as an insurance policy against the occurrence of unsafe incidences or child abuse however whilst we cannot ensure the safety of the child by teaching Protective Behaviours we can definitely increase the safety of children who have been taught the skills and strategies contained in the program.
Protective Behaviours WA is Western Australia’s leading prevention education organisation working in WA and Internationally to prevent child abuse. The program seeks to prevent child abuse by providing greater awareness and understanding; as well as providing the tools and strategies for individuals, organisations, parents, families and communities to address and deal with these issues. Their strong and spe-cialised service provides a dynamic professional response to child protection. The Protective Behaviours Program is child-focused, and informed by a fundamental belief that children have a right to physical and psychological safety at all times , and that we as individuals, parents, communities and governments must play a part in protecting children of all ages and walks of life.
This is an opportunity not to be missed by parents so come along and learn how to increase the safety of your child.
