As child safety legislation in Queensland undergoes significant changes, it's crucial for all organisations working with children, including those involved in dance activities, to comply with the new Child Safe Standards. This webinar will guide you through the necessary steps to ensure your compliance, including the documentation and evidence required.

What to Expect:

• Understanding the New Legislation: An overview of the changes and what they mean for your organisation.

• Compliance Requirements: Detailed information on the documentation and evidence you need to provide.

• Support Systems: Learn about the systems, training, and resources available to help you navigate this transition smoothly.

• Advocacy Efforts: Insights into our advocacy on your behalf, including government submissions in 2021 and 2023.
