Violence, Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation and Discrimination Training for Support Workers
Building Safer, More Respectful Care Environments
In the care and support industry, safety goes beyond physical wellbeing — it includes protecting the rights, dignity, and voice of every participant. The Violence, Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation and Discrimination course by 2Skill empowers workers to identify, prevent, and respond to these critical issues with professionalism and empathy.
This training is essential for anyone working under the NDIS Code of Conduct, where respect, safety, and accountability are non-negotiable.
Why This Training Is Essential

This course helps workers:
Recognise the signs of violence, neglect, or exploitation
Understand the rights of participants under the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Framework
Respond appropriately and report incidents following organisational procedures
Prevent discrimination and promote inclusive, respectful practices
Create environments where participants feel safe, heard, and valued
Every worker’s knowledge and vigilance contributes to a safer and more compassionate care culture.
