The organisation is committed to the safety and well-being of children and, as such, is committed to creating and maintaining a child safe organisation.
We are committed to the safety, participation and empowerment of all children.
Our commitment to the safety of children and families include a zero tolerance to racism.
We have zero tolerance of child abuse and are committed to actively contributing to a child safe Community where children are protected from all types of abuse.
Our organisation is committed to preventing child abuse by identifying risks early in order to try and remove or reduce these risks.
We have a legal and moral obligation to contact authorities when we are concerned about a child’s safety.
Our commitment will be enacted through the implementation and monitoring of the Child Safe Standards, as specified under the Child Wellbeing and Safety Amendment (Child Safe Standards) Act 2015.
Our Commitment to Children
We are committed to ensuring children feel safe, empowered and are taken seriously if they raise concerns in relation to their safety and well-being.
We value and support diversity, inclusion and equality. In acknowledgment of the particular vulnerabilities of these groups of children, and in accordance with the Child Safe Standards, we particularly support:
- The cultural safety of Indigenous Australian children and children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
- The participation and empowerment of all children, including children with a disability, Indigenous Australian children, children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and children who identify with the LGBTIQ community.
