Consent in Schools

Australia · CEU points & talks · Psychologists

Gaining informed consent when working with children and adolescents in school settings presents a complex array of legal, ethical, and practical challenges. In this comprehensive session, educational psychologist Annelie van der Westhuyzen provides clear and practical guidance on navigating consent procedures in educational contexts.

This talk is essential for psychologists, school counsellors, allied health professionals, and clinicians working directly with school-aged clients—whether based in schools or in external practices engaging with school systems. Annelie explores both treatment consent and payment consent, helping practitioners meet professional obligations while fostering trust with families and institutions
