Early Years Framework Alignment

EYLF V2.0 combines play-based learning and intentionality. Ditto uses age-appropriate song, movement and interaction to make learning active and memorable.

The framework reinforces the presenter’s intentional role in children’s learning. Bravehearts’ trained presenters help introduce key concepts in a guided, accessible way for young children.

Educators can use the Ditto program’s resources to extend learning through routines, story time, simple reminders and calm follow-up conversations.

The Convention’s Article 19 (protection from all forms of violence, abuse, and neglect) and Article 12 (the right of the child to be heard) reflect the substance of Ditto’s Keep Safe Rule 1 (‘We all have the right to feel safe with people’) and the program’s consistent message that children have the right to be believed. This gives services language that connects directly to their existing quality improvement plans, rather than introducing a separate rights framework.

Ditto’s Keep Safe Adventure program is aligned with Recommendation 6.2, which describes integrated prevention education delivered through early learning services, building children’s knowledge and skills to reduce the risk of abuse. Recommendation 6.2’s companion call for prevention education for parents is reflected in Bravehearts’ Parent and Carer’s Guide (Section 2.2).

Every state and territory has legislated or endorsed its own child safety schemes for organisations working with children, built on the ten National Principles for Child Safe Organisations. Bravehearts’ educator training can help services evidence staff training under these various schemes.
