Child Safe Standards
(Back to top)The Child Safe Standards provide a framework for creating child safe organisations. They are designed to drive cultural change to create, maintain and improve child safe practices. When we apply the Standards, we build a culture where abuse of children is prevented, responded to and reported.
They are based on the extensive research and consultation by the Royal Commission, and they provide clear guidance on how to create cultures, adopt strategies and act to put the interests of children first to keep them safe from harm.
