Supporting Disclosure: SNAICC Resource
SNAICC – National Voice for our Children has released a new resource to support early childhood educators in responding to disclosures of abuse or harm.
Believe, Inquire, Respond to Disclosures
This resource is part of SNAICC’s work to support culturally safe and child-centred practices that protect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and promote their wellbeing.
Responding effectively to a disclosure of abuse is critical for anyone working with children, especially in early childhood education and care settings.
How adults respond can have a profound impact on the child’s sense of safety and the likelihood of ongoing disclosure or help-seeking.
Children may disclose directly, indirectly, or through behaviour.
