 Child Protection Training Day for speech-language therapists

130 Remuera Road

<h1>Child Protection Training Day for speech-language therapists</h1>This is a specialised Care and Protection (face to face) training day for speech-language therapists who work with children and young people. It may also be useful for speech-language therapists who work with adults, but the focus of the training and workshop examples and tasks will focus on children under 18 years. FACILITATOR: This training will be facilitated by Emily Stephen, Child Protection Community Educator at <a href="https://www.starship.org.nz/directory-of-services/te-puaruruhau-(child-protection)/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Te Puaruruhau</a> Child Protection at Puawaitahi, Starship Children's Health: the Auckland District Health Board health service for children and young people who have experienced abuse or neglect. <a href="https://www.starship.org.nz/directory-of-services/te-puaruruhau-(child-protection)/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Emily Stephen comes to her role as a child protection community educator as a clinical social worker, with a background working in both Canada and New Zealand in child &amp; adolescent mental health within education, health, and community practice. Emily’s role is funded through Starship Children’s Health, and she sits with the child protection specialist team for the Auckland District Health Board called Te Puaruruhau. This team is part of a child advocacy centre, where three ministries work together out of one building – this multi-agency centre includes Police, Health and Oranga Tamariki – and is called Puawaitahi. Emily has presented at a previous SIG meeting in 2020 which was very well-received. Participants are not required to have attended this previous session.
