“Every mom should attend this type of training. It was very interesting. The first 1000 days of a baby are very important. Babies need to be treated with love and moms should get the necessary support when they are pregnant.”

“Received a lot of information. Throughout the whole pregnancy, stimulation must take place in all aspects. Good interaction between parents and child is important. I will use this in my facilitation with ECD students.”

“I’ve learnt the importance of love for the child, the effect of violence on a child and a child’s well-being. I enjoyed the group discussions and the interaction with the rest of the team.”

“I will never look at babies through the same lens again. I will pay attention to their needs. I learnt that babies are aware of their surroundings even before birth. Babies need all the love and support from as many people as possible. Thank you for educating educators and helping them to educate the community.”

“I rate this course highly, it’s clear, informative and well structured. It clarified my responsibilities in a clear manner, ensuring I understand and are up to date on the correct procedures. This is crucial for compliance with legal and ethical standards. I’ll apply the knowledge firstly by printing and displaying the Informatics available in all educational, and public places to keep others informed, helping to promote a safer environment for children. I will apply the knowledge when working in our community and definitely encourage others to do this course. Thank you for your efforts in putting this course together and making it available to all.”

Jill Watson (Born to be free)

“It is everyone’s responsibility to care for children and report abuse – we need to develop a culture of protecting children. I also learned about the various forms, how to fill them in and where to send them. It is helpful to know what specific laws apply, how to refer to them and how to relate to the various legal entities. It was a very helpful step in expanding my knowledge. I appreciate that as a Child Protection Officer, I need to continually grow in this area and add to my knowledge. Thank you very much for making this course available. It is sincerely appreciated and I hope it will contribute to increased child protection in South Africa.”

Kathryn de Smidt
(St. John’s Church, Wynberg)

“Excellent! The course sets out South African laws applicable and assists with how to practically apply/ adhere to the law. The training equipped me with knowledge on how to strengthen our safeguarding policies in a way that upholds both the law and the values of compassion, accountability, and integrity that guide our work as a faith based organisation. It has enhanced my ability to guide religious leaders in understanding their duty to report abuse, respond appropriately, and promote a culture of zero tolerance.”

“This is an excellent introductory course for anyone looking to build their knowledge and capacity in the field of Child Protection. It’s a valuable training resource that I highly recommend for all NPOs working with children in any capacity. Our organisation is currently in the process of developing a Child Protection Policy, and this information is incredibly valuable in guiding us. It will help ensure that our policy thoroughly addresses every critical step—from identifying and reporting abuse to integrating these measures into our project implementation guidelines—so we can protect the children we serve with the highest level of care and dignity. Thank you for providing this essential training! There’s truly no excuse for anyone working with children not to be equipped in this are —Ezrah has made it so accessible to upskill.”
