Child Protection Training

CHILD PROTECTION STAFF DEVELOPMENT TRAINING AND SUPPORT PACKAGE FOR PRE-SCHOOL, PRIMARY AND HIGH SCHOOLS

FOR ONLY R1,995-00 YOUR SCHOOL WILL RECEIVE:

  1. Six X 30 Min Staff Development Workshops on video including workbooks, case studies, memorandums and an easy step by step protocol and procedure guide for each workshop
  2. Access to our team of child protection experts when dealing with difficult cases
  3. Each member of staff that completes the training will receive 6 SACE Accredited certificates

One of the biggest challenges facing education in South Africa today is the lack of training provided to teachers when it comes to issues of child protection, abuse reporting protocols and the responsibilities that teachers have in their in loco parentis relationship with learners. The sad truth is that teachers are not normally trained to deal with the real issues that they face in the classroom, recent negative media has proven that schools are ill equipped to deal with the real issues at hand, physical and sexual abuse, depression, suicide, self-mutilation, self-made pornography and reporting obligations.

A number of teachers have recently faced the might of the criminal justice system due to the fact that they failed to report cases of sexual or physical abuse to the correct authorities after a direct disclosure from a child.

We are thrilled to announce that we have produced a series of short training videos to be utilised for staff development, each workshop is presented by Dr John Buswell and comes with a comprehensive protocol and procedure reference guide that should be made available to each member of staff for future reference when required.

INTRODUCTION

Recent studies have found that 24% of South African youngsters surveyed between Grade 5 to Grade 11 had experienced feelings of depression, hopelessness and sadness, while a further 21% had attempted suicide at least once. These studies also state that among school-attendees aged 10 to 15, showed that adolescents experienced a high prevalence of depression (41%), anxiety (16%) and PTSD (21%).

Educators are expected to deal with many of these issues with very little formal counselling or trauma training. A caring Educator can transform the school experience, especially for learners who face enormous home difficulties. The basic ability to counsel, listen, guide and refer when necessary, can transform a learners life forever.

This series of workshops with John Buswell will empower Educators to understand how anxiety, depression and trauma effects learners, identify the presenting symptoms and be able to provide  basic counselling to both learners and colleagues. An educator with counselling and communication skills enhances the schools professionalism, affirms a learners dignity and helps develop trusting relationships in times of crises.

Cyber Safety talks for learners

Learner Cyber Safety Talks for Primary and High School Learners: presented by John Buswell

(These productions can be used by teachers, in the classroom, online, at any time, for years to come.)

Introduction

South African learners have increased their online time spend by over 400% in the last two years following the outbreak of COVID-19, subsequent lock downs and online classes. This increase in “screen time” has exposed both primary and high school learners to different risks, including cyberbullying, sexual grooming, the sharing of sexual content and gaming addiction.

In a recent study by the World Economic Forum, it was found that 62% of South African Children have been exposed to at least one cyber risk. 55% of children polled were victims of cyber bullying, 11% had chatted to a stranger online and 18 % had engaged in online sexual behaviour. These statistics place South Africa in the top 10 of the countries that are at risk out of the 29 countries polled.

The New Cybercrimes Act

Leaners who cyber bully, threaten or send pornographic pictures can be sentenced to 15 years imprisonment or a substantial fine or both.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed the Cybercrimes Bill into law, bringing South Africa’s cybersecurity laws in line with the rest of the world. The bill, which is now an act of parliament, creates offences for and criminalises, amongst others, the disclosure of data massages which are harmful. Examples of such data messages include:

  • Those which incite violence or damage to property
  • Those which threaten persons with violence or damage to property
  • Those which contain an intimate image sent without the subject’s consent

A person who is convicted of an offence under the cybercrimes act is liable to a fine or to imprisonment for a period of up to 15 years or both.

    Teen Sexuality and The Prevention of Teen Pregnancy

    Dear Principal and Head the Life Orientation Department

    Following the release of the latest Teen Pregnancy Statistics for the last year, it has been reported that well over 200,000 girls fell pregnant,  many of whom are between the ages of 10 and 14 years old, we need to act, and act fast,  to prevent many more young girls from destroying their lives. The only effective way of prevention is to provide quality training that enables adolescent to understand exactly how their bodies work, make informed choices and not succumb to peer pressure.

    Over the past 25 years, in my capacity as the CEO of Rape Wise SA, The Proactive Education Group and now as head of training at Buswell and Associates, I have presented Teen Sexuality Workshops to thousands of boys and girls in both primary and high schools throughout South Africa.

    Most parents and educators recognise the importance of children and teens having accurate, age appropriate sexuality education as they grow. Communicating openly and honestly about sexuality issues can have lifelong benefits for young people.

    We have just produced 2 stunning Pre-recorded Learner Education Products on Teen Sexuality and Puberty for both Primary (Gr 6/7) and High School learners. These interactive workshops were produced at our state of the art facilities and make use of direct links, visual graphics, video content and real case studies.

    Loss, Grief and Bereavement

    A SERIES OF RECORDED, PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED WORKSHOPS FOR TEACHERS ON DEALING WITH LOSS, GRIEF AND BEREAVEMENT WITHIN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

    These training video Productions are aimed at educators, management and support staff

    Dear client

    Thousands of COVID-19 related Deaths having been reported since the beginning of the year in SA. These are no longer numbers or statistics reported in the media, these are family members, friends, colleagues, teachers, principals, parents and learners.

    The hundreds of school-based staff, teachers, learners and parents that have passed away as a result of COVID-19, the resurgence in infections and a new variant, will have a devastating effect on colleagues, learners and the school based community as a whole.

    The joint vision of every member of staff after participating in this training should be:

    To establish a “Whole School” readiness program to deal with the current COVID situation as well as to plan for any future incidents that they may have to deal with. Every member of your school community should be Prepared, Supportive and Informed.

    The aim of these workshops is to ensure that staff feel more confident and are equipped to help a child who is going through bereavement.

    ”Ordinarily, children do not have the means to assimilate death into their present experience, and grieving adults around them are dealing with their own sense of loss. In these situations, children’s emotional needs may not be given due consideration because adults are too busy or lack the skills to listen or explain the situation appropriately. Those involved with children, such as extended family, educational institutions or faith-based organisations, then need to take responsibility for educating learners about death, rather than assuming that someone else will.” (Kubler-Ross & Kessler 2005).

    Following the fantastic response from schools after having purchased both our training series on Child Protection and Emotional First Aid for Educators, it is with pleasure that we release our new training package – “Dealing with the Death of a Member of the School Community”.

    (Give your learners the Academic Edge)

    Introduction

    Learners in the South African Education system, as with the rest of the world, find themselves in one of the most challenging times of their lives due to the COVID – 19 epidemic and subsequent lock down restrictions. As our lives start to return to normal, time management and academic planning will become one of the greatest skills that learners, educators and parents will have to master. One of the biggest challenges that learners face from Gr 6 – Gr 12 is that they do not have adequate planning skills. This practical product teaches learners to work independently, develop study skills techniques and create a weekly planner, monthly study time table that correlates to their exam/test time table and a task priority system for projects and homework. Learners are unable to manage stress and the real potential of burnout from fatigue.

    The Product – Total Cost of this Package is only R1,995-00.
