Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy
We are very pleased to have been supported by Law Compliance in preparing this policy, which is available for download free of charge to all members. Law Compliance works with a wide range of community, charitable, and not-for-profit organisations, providing legislative compliance and policy-related services.
Who This Policy Applies To
This policy applies broadly to any organisation that provides services to, cares for, or engages with children and young people. This includes a wide range of entities such as schools, religious organisations, sporting clubs, community service providers, government agencies, and any organisation that employs children and young people.
Who Is Covered
Importantly, the obligations outlined in this policy extend to all individuals engaged by your organisation, including employees, volunteers, contractors, and students.
Purpose of the Policy
The policy has been developed to promote consistent, high standards of child safety across all member organisations, and to assist you in creating and maintaining environments where children and young people are safe, supported, and respected.
