How Does It Work?

Scenario-Based Mock Exercises

Teams practice new skills in a low-stakes environment as they work through a simulated case tailored to your jurisdiction's needs.

Responsive Expert Instruction

Leading child protection experts lead workshops, facilitate the simulation, and provide valuable feedback in real time.
