Common Misperceptions:

Despite the regular use of descriptions such as ‘licensed’, ‘approved’, ‘qualified’ and ‘authorised’ to promote Child Safety Seat service providers, there is no legal requirement* in any state of Australia that a service provider has to have any affiliation or training at all for installing a Child Car Safety Seat system.

This is why ACRI was originally formed: To professionalise an activity that is largely treated with complacency at all levels of exposure**. ACRI can provide anyone, anywhere, appropriate workplace training, awareness and support, without exclusion or commercial bias.

*NB: Authority exception may relate in some states to engineering modifications of vehicles.

** About complacency:

Of 825 ACRI training requests collated, it was found…

83% believed that showing learners how ‘to fit’ one make and model Safety Seat will, apply for all.
76% believed that Safety Seats are so easy that it would only take two hours to effectively train a room full of staff to proficiently deal with any passenger safety environment.
85% believed that staff who are already parents know how to use them correctly and are experienced enough for appropriate workplace decisions / practices.
95% believed that the vehicles all have the same equipment and are not a part of difficult to use, misuse aspects.

And yet….…

For over 20 years a 75%+ Child Car Safety Seat misuse statistic has been regularly reported.

Clearly the right messages about what constitutes a Safe environment are not getting through.

A Safe Travel environment is not rocket science, but there’s much more to consider than most people recognise. ACRI considers them all.
