Child Protection Online Training organised by the Government

(Event supported by the Academy)

To dovetail with the commencement of the Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse Ordinance (the Ordinance) passed in The Legislative Council on 11 July 2024 and published in the Gazette on 19 July 2024, the Government set up an e-learning platform to provide training, reference materials and information for the relevant professionals to facilitate their early identification and reporting of child abuse cases.

The Child Protection Online Training comprises online self-learning training and webinars. Module 1 of the online self-learning training was launched in February 2024 to deliver basic knowledge on child protection.  Module 2 will be rolled out in phases and cover basic knowledge on legal and reporting issues related to the new legislation. 

Enrichment Programmes
The Government will provide enrichment programmes through webinars for professionals to study different topics related to child protection and to enhance cross-sectoral professional collaboration. Questions and answers sessions will also be included according to training needs to encourage interactive learning. Participants can join the real time webinar or participate in the thematic study of the webinar through archives. 

The first Webinar was conducted on 27 June 2024 with favorable response. The recording has been uploaded onto the Resource Corner of the Child Protection Online Training website.
