Critical incidents can have a range of impacts for everyone in the learning community. The role of the learning environment in promoting a mentally health community, preparing for critical incidents and being responsive in times of crisis have been shown to be crucial in ensuring that people receive the help they need.
These two modules aim to empower you to act effectively to limit the impact of critical incidents, by recognising and understanding the possible impact on children and young people. They also aim to encourage positive, timely and appropriate interventions in a normal, familiar setting.

Accreditation and endorsement
All registered teachers in every state and territory must ensure they have added their teacher registration number and state/territory

In the ACT, completing Responding Together will contribute two (2) hours of ACT Teacher Quality Institute (TQI) accredited professional learning addressing standard 4.4.2 Maintain Student Safety of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) is reviewing its process for endorsing professional development providers and courses. As part of this, NESA is not accrediting any professional development providers, including Be You, as of 30 November 2020.
Be You will reapply for accreditation once NESA has outlined the new accreditation application process.
For more information on logging Be You Professional Learning activities with NESA, please see this Be You FAQ: Can I use Be You Professional Learning to support my professional development requirements as a teacher?
