Course Overview
Risk management is one of the most effective ways to keep the workplace safe for everyone. In family day care it is particularly important to have good systems in place to identify and manage risk. This will not only help protect the children in your care from injury but will also provide you with a safer workplace and reduce your risk of injury while you are working.
