22.01.2022 The Department of Education and Training has funded a 10-episode podcast series through the Raising Children Network called 'Raising Learners'. It features parenting experts from organisations including the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, Career Education Association Victoria, as well as the Australian eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman-Grant. Raising Learners provides parents with practical advice, tips and ideas for supporting children's health, wellbeing and engageme...nt at school and at home. Topics include how to connect with your child's school and community, how to best support your child's learning, what to expect for VCE and VCAL students and how to keep your child safe online. These topics were drawn from common questions that parents raised with the Department's coronavirus (COVID-19) hotline and Parentline. The first three episodes will be available on 1 September, and the rest throughout terms 3 and 4. Raising Learners can be accessed via podcast apps and Raising Children Network website - https://raisingchildren.net.au//podcasts-and-webi/podcasts.

15.01.2022 This week marks the start of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence! This annual, global campaign runs from 25th November to 10th December, 2020, to promote gender equality and raise awareness about violence against women. Research shows that gender based violence starts with gender inequality. Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. This year’s theme, led by Women’s Health East, is called: ‘16 Ways to Call it Out in 16 Days’..., and encourages everyone to call out sexism and discrimination. As more people start calling out these behaviours, everyone will learn that it’s not ok. If you or someone you know is experiencing family violence, help is available. In an emergency, call 000. For confidential support and information, call 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732). Read more about the campaign here: https://16dayscampaign.org/ #16Days #16DaysCampaign #GenderEquality
