Description

The Child and Family Violence Information Sharing Schemes have made significant changes to the way early childhood professionals can share information with other service organisations.

Independent Schools Victoria (ISV) in partnership with the Department of Education (DE) is pleased to be able to offer information sharing training for early childhood providers.

This training will help you understand how you can use the information sharing reforms to work with services such as schools, maternal and child health, Victoria Police and child protection to:

• get the full picture of the children you work with

• identify issues or risks for children and families sooner

• ensure children receive the best support possible across services

• support children as they transition to schools.

Key takeaways

• understanding who is able to share or request information under the Child and Family Violence Information Sharing Schemes
• knowledge of when sharing can occur and what information can be requested
• strategies for sharing information in a safe and appropriate way
• understanding how to meet your legal obligations under the reforms.
