Child Safety
Our Service is committed to safety and wellbeing of all children and young people. We understand our
responsibilities and statutory duty of care to comply with both the Victorian Child Safe Standards and the
Reportable Conduct Scheme to build our capacity as an organisation to prevent and respond to
allegations of child abuse.
Our Service is committed to implementing and abiding by our Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy based on
Child Safe Standards in Victoria (2022), which accentuates our zero tolerance for child abuse and raising
awareness about the importance of child safety in our Service and the community.
We are dedicated to protecting children from abuse and neglect and promote a child safe environment,
maintaining children’s wellbeing.
We adhere to our comprehensive Child Protection Policy, standing by
our mandatory reporting responsibilities to protect children from physical, sexual, emotional and
psychological abuse and neglect.
We work to ensure there is clear awareness between appropriate and inappropriate behaviour
concerning adults and children. We require clear precincts between children and employees, volunteers
and the community to maintain children’s safety.
We are dedicated to promoting cultural safety for Aboriginal children, cultural safety for children from
culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and to providing a safe environment for children with
a disability.
We value diversity and do not tolerate any discriminatory practices.
We are committed to ongoing professional development for employees to maintain their ability to
distinguish and respond to situations of abuse and neglect, ensuring employees are responsive to their
responsibilities in keeping children safe.
We work in collaboration with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and have
confidence in educating children about their right to be safe. We believe in teaching children what to do if
they feel unsafe and encouraging them to express their view and thoughts on matters that directly affect
them.
As educators and staff, we listen to and empower children to act on any concerns, they or others may
raise which is reflective in our policies and procedures in keeping children safe.
