As leaders in early childhood education, you hold a vital role in creating a culture of care—not just for children, but for your staff and families as well. Domestic violence can impact anyone, and often, early learning centres are one of the few safe places where signs can be noticed and support can begin.

In this important live session, we'll explore practical, compassionate approaches to recognising and supporting people experiencing domestic violence. You’ll gain insight into how to build an environment of safety, trust, and responsiveness—without overstepping or becoming overwhelmed.
