Child Safety

The Child Safe Standards are a set of 11 requirements that organisations must follow to create a culture and environment that is safe for children. These standards aim to prevent, respond to, and report child abuse by requiring organisations to implement policies, procedures, and practices that put children’s safety and well-being first. They were developed in response to inquiries and recommendations from Royal Commissions and aim to drive cultural change within organisations that provide services or facilities for children.

Each month, we will share a standard in the newsletter to familiarise all the St Michael's community what each standard stands for, in detail.

This month, Child Safe Standard 1 is Creating a Culturally Safe Environment for Aboriginal Children.
