Managing and leading child safe teams

When reviewing the 10 National Principles for Child Safe Organisations - do you ever ...

  • Feel like you don't know where to start?
  • Get overwhelmed by the amount of work to be done?
  • Feel like you are drowning in policy?
  • Want help to focus your effort for maximum impact?


If this sounds familiar, then you will love our Community for Practice Leaders.

In this group, you will get practical resources and facilitated discussions focused on leadership strategies to build a child safe culture with your team.  Over 3 months, you will build your confidence as a manager and leader by accessing subject matter experts and consulting with colleagues in similar positions.  You can share your challenges and wins in a supportive group, as well as learn through the experiences of others.

Want some more information?

This group is designed to be relevant and responsive.  So you can nominate the areas that are important to your organisation right now.  And if the community members can't answer your questions - we will source and translate the latest research and sector developments that answer your questions.

To get everyone started, we provided a brief knowledge levelling webinar on the National Principles and research of organisational culture.  From there - you tell us what you need!

What our clients say

Lindsay Wegener

Executive Director, PeakCare

Pracademics ‘brought to life’ the theory and concepts embedded within the ‘Hope and Healing’ framework. In conducting the project, the Directors of Pracademics, Ms Chelsea Leach and Ms Hayley Holst, coupled their technical expertise in making use of this medium with their own considerable knowledge and skills in the delivery of contemporary and effective residential care for children and young people who have experienced trauma and their close familiarity with the training and professional development needs of residential care workers. This made them uniquely well-placed to deliver a training and professional development tool that not only met, but exceeded the outcomes being sought by PeakCare

Kate Hillman

EY | Partner People Advisory Services | Oceania People Partner

"On behalf of EY I wanted to express my appreciation for the support Pracademics has provided to EY. The continued support from both Dr Chelsea Leach and Hayley Holst on deliverable programs of work in the Human Services Sector is also appreciated and your capability valued. We are grateful for the manner in which you engage with us, and the integrity with which you deliver.”
