Responding Together
Plan responses to critical incidents, learn about trauma and support recovery.
Course Overview
Critical incidents and traumatic events can have a range of impacts on everyone in a learning community. Learning environments play a vital role in preparing for critical incidents and being responsive in times of crisis. This is crucial in ensuring that people receive the support they need.
Modules in this domain cover the importance of preparing for critical incidents. They introduce strategies and frameworks that can be used to address the impacts of critical incidents within a learning community.
The modules explore the role of educators and leaders in:
- planning for and responding to critical incidents
- supporting resilience and recovery for children, young people and colleagues.
If you’re a school age care educator, modules in the primary school stream may be the most suitable for you.
