The Child Carer Safety Program is a Queensland Government sponsored initiative developed by Family Day Care Association Queensland in Partnership with Department of Education and Industrial Relations (DEIR) to assist in reducing injuries associated with manual handling, trips and falls within a family day care home or in-home care child care service.
The Child Carer Safety Program consists of an easy to follow five step process:

2. Watch the video on Child Carer Safety
3. Read the Child Carer Safety Pocket Guide
4. Complete the online Questionnaire and print your statement of attainment
5. Access additional workplace health and safety resources
Carers are encouraged to work through this self paced learning application and access additional resources to enable improved physical health and wellbeing of carers, children and their families.
A certificate of attainment will be supplied on completion of the online session.
Recently all family day care services and in-home care services were provided with a free copy of the Child Carer Safety video (on DVD) and copies of the Child Carer Safety Pocket Guide.
Additional Child Carer Safety Pocket Guides are available free of charge – however stocks are limited so place your order now to avoid missing out!
