About ACSL’s National Catholic Safeguarding Standards Introductory Session for Leaders:

3 x 90-120 minute modules delivered over two days.

We are currently working on new content for our NCSS Introductory Session for Leaders. This October Leaders session will be an updated version of our training, taking into account the transition from CPSL to ACSL and incorporating new content, which takes into account the new functions of ACSL.

In this training you will:

• be briefed on the National Catholic Safeguarding Standards;
• consider the steps you need to take as a leader to implement your safeguarding vision;
• learn about the tools and resources available to support you to implement the Standards throughout your organisation;
• meet leaders from Catholic entities across Australia who are also implementing the Standards; and
• have the opportunity to ask questions about implementing the Standards.
