Early childhood education and care services, schools and health and wellbeing services will be joining the Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS), the Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme (FVISS) and the Family Violence Action Framework in the first half of 2021. These reforms will enable professionals from authorised organisations and services to share information with other professionals to promote child wellbeing and safety and reduce family violence. In Term 3, 2020 webinars will be available for leaders of ECEC, school and OSHC services. The webinars are designed to empower workplace leaders to operationalise and be champions of the information sharing and family violence reforms.

During term 3 there will be 6 webinars each week. The briefings are around 1.5 hours in duration.
