We believe all children have the right to feel safe and be safe.
We acknowledge the lifelong impact any form of abuse can have on children and young people and we strive to keep them safe whilst engaging with our services.
We work closely with our workforce, children, families, and specialist agencies to create a community where all children feel valued and safe. Our ongoing training strengthens awareness and accountability to identify and mitigate risks to child safety.
As a registered agency under the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act, we are implementing the NSW Child Safe Standards. The standards guide organisations to create cultures, adopt strategies and act to put the interests of children first to keep them safe from harm.
What's Happening Now?
This draft action plan which includes the 10 standards and how we will deliver on them, is currently on exhibition for community information. Please review the 10 standards and if you would like to comment please visit our feedback page.
Child Safe Standards
The Child-Safe Standards recommended by the Royal Commission provide a framework for ensuring organisations are safe for children.
