STAND: Parents as Protectors

Welcome to STAND: Parents as Protectors!

This warm, supportive program is designed especially for caring parents like you. Your journey here is all about empowerment – helping you to Recognise, Respond, and Protect in your child’s life.

We know that keeping children safe comes from connection, awareness, and trust, not fear.

This course will help you reconnect with your instincts and build the confidence to protect your children and your family.

What to Expect:

We begin with a live, interactive introduction session on Friday 23rd May at 5pm, to kick off the learning journey. During this introduction, you’ll also hear a real lived experience example, shared with care and purpose. This story helps bring the learning to life, offering valuable insights into the importance of adult responses and emotional regulation when a child discloses harm.

You can register your interest to join the live session here – and we will send you a link a few days prior.

Next, you will move through six pre-recorded modules at your own pace. Each module includes an engaging presentation video, downloadable worksheets,  and a quiz to reinforce your learning.

After you complete all six modules, you are welcome to join an optional live Q&A session to ask questions and share reflections. Every step is paced to help you feel comfortable and supported.

Course Structure

1. Live Interactive Introduction – Start with a friendly live session where you can meet the facilitator, learn about the course, hear a real-life example, and ask any questions.
2. Six Self-Paced Modules  – Each module features a video presentation you can watch on your own schedule, a downloadable worksheet and a quiz. After watching, you’ll answer module questions to ensure you grasp the ideas. An 80% pass score is required to move forward, reinforcing our understanding and confidence. Don’t worry though – we absolutely want you to pass this and so you can have as many goes as you need to pass.
3. Optional Live Q&A Session – Upon completing the modules, join us for a final optional live session. This is your chance to connect, clarify any doubts, and celebrate what you’ve learned. We will confirm the date of the live session at a later date.

Worksheets

Each session comes with a downloadable worksheet to guide and support your reflections and learning. You’ll receive two worksheets with the live session and one worksheet for each of the six modules.

You can download all worksheets directly from the website. If you prefer, you can also request copies for printing to be emailed to you – just let us know!
