The first report from Our Collective Experience Project – Hear us now, act now – is released, and Emma, Janise and the LEAC attend Parliament House to deliver the report to Ministers.
Backed by the report findings, Emma, Janise and several LEAC members speak in parliament, calling for the Government to include mandatory education on child sexual abuse and how it can be prevented within the Working With Children Check.
The project team speak to the five key areas of focus that should be included in this proposed training – the scale of the issue of child sexual abuse, the tactics of perpetrators, promoting children’s rights and voice, recognising indicators in children, talking to children about concerns and responding to disclosures.
