Overview
Key Features
As part of the University of Tasmania 's commitment to child safety and protection, the following Introduction to Children's Rights and Safety short courses have been developed.
The first course entitled “Introduction to Children’s Rights and Safety” Course, provides a general overview of children's rights, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and looks at the difference between duty bearers and rights holders.
A second, more detailed and extended course is also available, entitled "Child Safety: Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention". This course consists of evidence-based information on: prioritising children and young people's safety; myths, misconceptions and behaviours of perpetrators; recognition and response; and steps towards child safety and prevention.
These courses have been led by the University of Tasmania’s Peter Underwood Centre. The Peter Underwood Centre was launched in 2015, as part of a partnership between the University of Tasmania and the Tasmanian Government in association with the Office of the Governor of Tasmania.
