New Zealand Diploma in Child Protection

Summary

The New Zealand Diploma in Child Protection aims to contribute to the prevention of child abuse and neglect by promoting the rights of tamariki and rangatahi through child-centred practice and advocacy. Students are encouraged to become child protection champions and are able to take proactive leadership roles in their organisations and communities regarding child protection issues. We recommend organisations identify key people to complete the Diploma programme who can then give guidance and support to other staff.

Graduates will be able to…

implement evidence-based and child-centred practice to protect and advocate for the safety and wellbeing of tamariki and rangatahi in a range of environments
apply advanced strategies to identify, prevent and respond to child abuse and neglect, and promote the safety of tamariki, rangatahi, and their whānau
model best-practice in child protection in organisation and community settings to encourage consistent and safe responses to the needs of tamariki and rangatahi
engage with and support families and whānau from diverse cultural contexts in a child-centred way to promote the safety and wellbeing of tamariki and rangatahi

With Thanks to our Partners

"The Verandah has chosen Child Matters as a charity to work with as the message they deliver and the training they provide is, unfortunately, essential in today’s society. Child Matters are a proactive, empowering organisation that see value in developing partnerships with organisations, and supporting those who help them.

Not only do we get to help a wonderful organisation that in turn helps others, we have seen a flow on effect for our own business that will make this partnership sustainable long into the future.

We look forward to a long and rewarding partnership with Child Matters as they deliver child protection training, community education and influence a societal change for the protection and wellbeing of our children."

"Kiwi Commercial Cleaning supports Child Matters by way of a percentage of monthly turnover. The primary reason we do it this way is to keep our hearts and minds constantly reminded that our work has meaning beyond just us – for every office we clean and toilet we scrub, all of us at Kiwi Commercial Cleaning know that vulnerable children are being protected from terrible harm.

We feel connected to a bigger family and that makes us feel good! Sounds selfish, but it works!"
