ABOUT THE WEBINARS

WEBINAR 1: Child Protection: Trends, Updates and Best Practices for Educators

SEPT 8, 3:00-4:00pm (Athens GMT+3)

Presenter: BOB CUNNINGHAM

Join us to explore the most recent child protection trends and updates. We will examine the challenges imposed by the pandemic as well as tools and strategies to help us cope and continue working to keep children safe in our schools. No matter where you are in the cycle of school or home-based learning, this webinar will help you identify the most challenging issues that you should be aware of and tools to help you.


WEBINAR 2: Protecting Our Vulnerable Groups

SEPT 15, 3:00-4:00pm (Athens GMT+3)

Presenters: PERY AWAD & JAKE DIBBERT

Addressing vulnerable groups is a shared responsibility. In this session, we will discuss issues pertaining to students within vulnerable groups, the compounded impact the pandemic has had on these groups and general barriers to reporting abuse for those groups. Our discussions will boost participant awareness and help us support children who are particularly vulnerable to abuse, identify common mistakes and pitfalls to avoid, and offer guidance in best practice concerning vulnerable groups.

This session will be co-presented by an experienced child protection designate from the region and a former regional MS Principal. Time for discussion and reflection will be allowed.


WEBINAR 3: Handling Allegations: Challenges for Educators

SEPT 22, 3:00-4:00pm (Athens GMT+3)

Presenters: PERY AWAD & CINDY WARNER-DOBROWSKI

This webinar will review our role in cultivating an ethos of safety and prevention in our schools. We will highlight our collective reporting responsibility and through an interactive, progressive case study, guide your reflection on the complexities and sensitivity required when allegations are made, especially considering the dual roles we hold as educators.

This session will be co-presented by an experienced child protection designate from the region and a regional Administrator and child protection lead for a NESA school. Time for discussion and reflection will be allowed.
