Refresher Training Explained
This refresher training is designed to help participants demonstrate current knowledge of child protection and safeguarding laws and fulfil the obligations required under Regulation 84.

Regulation 84: Awareness of Child Protection Law
The approved provider of an education and care service must ensure that nominated supervisors and staff who work directly with children are informed of:
(a) The existence and application of current child protection laws; and
(b) Their specific obligations under those laws.
