Adults who work or volunteer in child-related services require the necessary knowledge and skills to recognise specific signs and symptoms that indicate a child in your care may be at risk of harm, as well as how to accurately report to and collaborate with relevant authorities, and finally how to support a child throughout the process.
Studying the CHCPRT025 Identify and report children and young people at risk course offers a range of benefits, helping individuals gain essential knowledge and skills to initially identify the child, support the child, handle the situation ethically, engage with appropriate authorities, and accurately complete reporting documentation.
Individuals who are currently working or volunteering in a child and young person related service would benefit from this course, including but not limited to:
– A laptop / computer
– The internet
– A scanner, or a scanner app downloaded on their smart phone
Students will be required to bring a laptop to class to access their course resources.
On conclusion of the practical session students will have 7 days to finalise and upload their completed assessments.
Assessments are made against units of competency.
As part of this course you will be completing the accredited unit Identify and report children and young people at risk (CHCPRT025)
On successful completion of the assessment tasks associated with this unit, a Statement of Attainment will be issued.

This involves an easy online application. See USI Fact Sheet for information on how to apply for a USI go to the Unique Student Identifier (USI) Website for additional information.
Please ensure when completing your enrolment information, that the details relating to your name are identical to those on the identification evidence (eg passport or driver’s licence) used when creating your USI, eg no abbreviations or nicknames should be used.
