Child Safe Standards
What are the Child Safe Standards?
A quick review of the Child Safe standards.
The seven Standards are as follows:
- Strategies to embed a culture of child safety through effective leadership arrangements.
- A child safe policy or statement of commitment to child safety.
- A code of conduct that establishes clear expectations for appropriate behaviour with children
- Screening, supervision, training, and other human resources practices that reduce the risk of child abuse by new and existing staff
- Processes for responding to and reporting suspected child abuse.
- Strategies to identify and reduce or remove risks of child abuse.
- Strategies to promote the participation and empowerment of children.
The Child Safe standards have been designed to drive cultural change in organisations, so that protecting children from abuse is embedded in the everyday thinking and practice of leaders, staff and volunteers.
This will assist organisations to:
Promote the safety of children
Prevent child abuse
Ensure effective processes are in place to respond to and report allegations of child abuse
Encourage children to ‘have a say’, especially on issues that are important to them or about decisions that affect their lives.
