Child Safe Environment Program

The Child Safe Environment program helps organisations to create and keep environments that are safe and welcoming for children and young people.

This means spaces where children and young people:

  • are protected
  • feel respected, valued and encouraged to reach their full potential
  • are heard.

We do this by supporting:

As a prescribed organisation, the department has a Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy, which applies to all the children, young people and families we work with.
