Project: Child Safeguarding Online course

This project focuses on the development of an online course centered around the Child Safeguarding Policy, a crucial requirement for implementation in Catholic Schools and Catechism classes, as well as any setting where members of the church community are expected to engage with children.
Primarily, this initiative offers a concise learning opportunity, complete with badging or certification, ensuring that schools recognize more than just a cursory understanding of the policy before individuals commence work within educational environments. The course is set to go live in January 2025

Project: Safe Science

Hazards in South African school laboratories often stem from inadequate storage, handling, and disposal of chemicals, as well as a lack of safety protocols and training for educators and learners. Common risks include exposure to toxic substances, chemical spills, improper use of equipment, and fire hazards. These challenges are compounded by resource constraints in many schools, leading to poorly equipped labs and insufficient safety measures. Addressing these issues requires robust policies, proper training, and adherence to safety standards to create secure environments that prioritize the wellbeing of students and staff.
