Education and Care Services Committee and Board Induction

Learn the key concepts of good governance and how to apply them in this course designed for early education and care service committee and board members

The Department of Communities has developed this free online course in partnership with Linkwest and iClick2Learn to support committee and board members of community managed early education and care services based in regional Western Australia.

Through the principles of good governance, your committee will learn how to:

  • deliver a high standard of care to families, while meeting legal and regulatory requirements
  • assess, plan and implement good governance practices and compliance checks for your centre
  • improve the way your committee and management team plan, achieve and monitor long-term goals.

Understanding these fundamentals will put your service in a better position to attract funding and new families.

The course covers:

  • How governance differs from management
  • The four key elements of good governance
  • Roles and responsibilities of committee members
  • Strategies for making informed decisions

    Governance training

    Good mixture of delivery and interaction. Makes you think and take in what has been delivered.

    Education and Care services committee and Board Induction

    I loved the fact this learning process was interactive with videos, pictures and quizzes. The lesson transcript is also a great idea. The knowledge based content was fantastic. Well Done

    Board Training that wasn't boring.

    Interactive, innovative and engaging. A good way to spend a cold afternoon reviewing and reflecting on current and future governance practices. Even the little quizzes and cutsie stars kept me engaged!

    Catered for all the visual and reader learning styles

    Progressed well and participants can opt for transcripts or videos or both. Quizzes are not too wordy and in simple form for all to comprehend.

    Engaging online course - who'd of thought that?

    What a fabulous interactive and interesting course. I found it engaging and easy to listen to. Definitely the best online course I have done so far.

    Governance Training

    put together well. between the videos, transcripts and quizzes it was very informative and i felt i learnt a lot to help be more confident in my committee role.

    Education and Care Services Committee and Board Induction

    Very comprehensive. Being able to download and print self check lists and governance tips provided very useful additions to my Board Handbook. Thanks!

    Education and Care Regulatory Unit Committee Information

    Thank you Natalie for making the Committees roles clear, for giving such short sharp succinct information in a very user friendly manner. Even though as a Director for many years I have worked with many different Management Committee members, this information will be very valuable for anyone who takes the course. I have ear marked several areas for improvement. Thank you.

    education on the roles of committee members

    Governance training

    Excellent content and presentation.

    Content Good just took longer than thought

    Content was good and I feel slightly more informed even though I had a fairly good understanding prior to the course. My main concern was it took me much longer than 1-1.5 hours to complete when viewing all the videos etc. Although my computer was slow so completed the rest on my phone.

    Enjoyable

    Very clear and concise. Thought her explanations were very helpful. Thank you
