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 organisational 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.
