SAFE CHURCH PROGRAM NATIONAL CHILD SAFETY FRAMEWORK
“A child safe institution has localised policies and procedures that set out how it maintains a safe environment for children. Policies and procedures should address all aspects of the Child Safe Standards. The implementation of child safe policies and procedures is a crucial aspect of facilitating an institution’s commitment to them.” (Royal Commission, 2017) |
