Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy

As an RTO that provides training to young people under 18, we are committed to creating an environment which is safe and protects their wellbeing in accordance with the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations.

We understand that, as a child-safe organisation, we must adopt and embed the following principles into our everyday actions:

1. Child safety and well-being is embedded in organisational leadership, governance, and culture.
2. Children and young people are informed about their rights, participate in decisions affecting them, and are taken seriously.
3. Families and communities are informed and involved in promoting child safety and well-being.
4. Equity is upheld and diverse needs respected in policy and practice.
5. People working with children and young people are suitable and supported to reflect child safety and wellbeing values in practice.
6. Processes to respond to complaints and concerns are child-focused.
7. Staff and volunteers are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and awareness to keep children and young people safe through ongoing education and training.
8. Physical and online environments promote safety and well-being while minimising the opportunity for children and young people to be harmed.
9. Implementation of the national child safe principles is regularly reviewed and improved.
10. Policies and procedures document how the organisation is safe for children and young people.
