ACSL Learning Platform

In line with our mission to help organisations protect children and adults at risk, we have sourced and developed a range of professional development resources and courses focusing on safeguarding.

Some of these are created by ACSL, and others are offered in partnership with leading safeguarding authorities (including the Australian Childhood Foundation and the Australian Human Rights Commission).

Registration on the ACSL Learning Platform is free.
