Child Safe Principles

In February 2019, the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations were endorsed by all state and territory governments and the Australian Government. The principles aim to provide a nationally consistent approach to creating organisational cultures that foster child safety and wellbeing.

The National Principles reflect 10 child safe standards recommended by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The Australian, state and territory Education Ministers have agreed to changes to the National Quality Framework (NQF) in relation to the National Child Safe Principles.

We want to make sure you feel comfortable and confident that you are able to talk about the Child Safe Principles to ensure you are a Child Safe Organisation in line with the NQF. Shell will be facilitating the session and is a passionate advocate for safeguarding the rights and welfare of children and young people in the community. Shell will support participants to understand, implement and develop plans to embed the child safe principles in your service.

This session will be great for service Leadership Teams, Owner Operators, Family Day Care Coordinators, DfE Leaders/Directors, OSHC Directors and Nominated Supervisors or Approved Providers in the private/independent school sector.  

We will have plenty of time for networking, sharing policies and asking questions.

NB: Some discussion could be triggering and there will be opportunity to move from the room and Michelle will be there to support anyone who needs support. These are important conversations, however we know that they can be challenging.
