Safeguarding Resources

Keeping children, young people and vulnerable adults safe is our highest priority. We take our responsibility to protect them from harm seriously, and we respond promptly whenever child abuse is suspected.

A crucial aspect of safeguarding children and young people is ensuring our staff understand the process for reporting any concerns they have about a child or young person’s wellbeing. Our staff must also understand expectations in relation to their code of conduct around children and young people.

Programs and services that advocate for children and young people to air their concerns with our services, and be confident in offering feedback, is another important aspect of creating a culture where children and young people’s well-being is safeguarded.

Our reporting procedure and practice and behaviour guidelines are available here:
