Protective Behaviours Consultancy Group of NSW Inc AGM will be held on
June 19th, at 73 Garden Street, Alexandria. 2pm |
The
Protective Behaviours Program was developed
in America by Peg Flandreau West. The idea
of a safety program was conceived when Peg
went to speak with a group of students at a
primary school in the US. The topic was Being
Safe. It was from this simple idea that the
Protective Behaviours Program began.
In 1985 Peg was invited by the Victorian Police
Service to bring the program to Australia.

|
Representatives
from New South Wales were in attendance at the training
and felt that the program was a very valuable tool to
assist Police in their general duties but more importantly
in the area of child protection.
The New South Wales Police Service began the co-ordination
of the Protective Behaviours Program throughout New
South Wales in 1986. The Police Service was assisted
in this role by a consultancy group consisting of representatives
from education, health, women's resource groups, community
services and non government organisations.
|
The program remained under the auspice of the
Police Service up until 1989 when funding from
the N.S.W. Child Protection Council enabled
the program to become entirely community based,
under the management of the consultancy group.
The
Consultancy Group is now directly funded by
the NSW Department of Community Services and
is responsible for the promotion, delivery of
training and implementation
of the program throughout New South Wales.
As
of 1st February 2005 THE PROTECTIVE BEHAVIOURS
CONSULTANCY GROUP OF NSW became a charity under
the Harm Prevention Charities Register.
