We are a Child Safe Organisation

As a child safe organisation, we are committed to child safety. This is demonstrated in our leadership, in the way our organisation is managed & in all of our day-to-day activities.

A child safe culture drives how we work, how we manage safety risks & concerns. We adhere to the Office of the Children's Guardian (NSW) Child Safe Standards, which are as follows:

🌻 Child safety is embedded in our organisation's leadership, governance & culture;

🌻 Children participate in decisions affecting them & are taken seriously;

🌻 Families & communities are informed & involved;

🌻 Equity is upheld & diverse needs are taken into account;

🌻 People working with children are suitable & supported;

🌻 Processes to respond to complaints of child abuse (or other concerns) are child-focused;

🌻 Staff are equipped with the knowledge, skills & awareness to keep children safe through continual education & training;

🌻 Physical & online environments minimise the opportunity for abuse or other kinds of harm to occur;

🌻 Implementation of the Child Safe Standards is continuously reviewed & improved;

🌻 Policies & procedures document how our organisation is child safe.
