This study explores perceptions of child abuse and child protection matters involving staff working in the out-of-school-hours care (OSHC) sector. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through an online survey, focus group and interviews with staff and managers employed by one organisation that provided OSHC services in Sydney, Australia. This paper reports on their perceptions about implementing mandatory reporting requirements associated with the concepts of ‘significant harm’ and ‘reportable conduct’. The aim of this paper is to engage OSHC stakeholders, including government, in reviewing child protection policies and practices to support educators in their work with children. Key findings indicate the inadequacy of available training, and the importance of relationships and communication between stakeholders, especially OSHC and school staff. This requires systemic change including raising the status of OSHC and the critical role that these educators have in supporting children's development, learning and wellbeing during the early years of school.

确保课外照料中的儿童安全:澳大利亚悉尼一家提供者的员工和管理人员的看法

本研究探讨了在校外照料 (OSHC) 部门工作的员工对虐待儿童和儿童保护问题的看法。定量和定性数据是通过在线调查、焦点小组和对一家在澳大利亚悉尼提供 OSHC 服务的组织雇用的员工和管理人员进行的访谈收集的。本文报告了他们对实施与“重大损害”和“应报告行为”概念相关的强制性报告要求的看法。本文的目的是让 OSHC 利益相关者(包括政府)参与审查儿童保护政策和做法,以支持教育工作者与儿童开展工作。主要调查结果表明现有培训不足,以及利益相关者之间的关系和沟通的重要性,尤其是 OSHC 和学校工作人员。这需要系统性的改变,包括提高 OSHC 的地位,以及这些教育者在支持儿童早期学校发展、学习和福祉方面的关键作用。
