About Our Training

Helping people and organisations safeguard and protect tamariki

Safeguarding Children delivers training nationwide and caters for individuals, groups and organisations. By increasing awareness and encouraging people to prevent, recognise and report child abuse and neglect, we hope to make Aotearoa New Zealand a safe and happy place for our tamariki to grow and reach their full potential.  

Child abuse is preventable. Every one of us has a role to play in keeping our tamariki safe. Safeguarding and child protection training is an essential tool to assist you with meeting this responsibility. Safeguarding Children offers numerous training options designed to meet all your child protection needs. Training can be delivered On Demand (online) or in person and readily customised to your organisation, ensuring applicability and ultimately keeping tamariki in your care safe. 

Our training is developed and delivered by national and international subject matter experts. Their knowledge and expertise will guide you and your team to prevent, recognise and respond to child abuse and neglect. Training is essential to support your Child Protection Policy and ensure its effective implementation. Please contact us for help to formulate a training programme to best meet your needs. 

All participants who have attended Safeguarding Children training receive a certificate on completion of their course. Our Training Calendar is regularly updated with upcoming courses. Register for this essential training today.
