This resource aims to help schools and other services working with children create a child safe organisation and ensure their organisation is acting appropriately. Creating a child-safe culture is not just having a set of policies and procedures in place, but about creating a culture where all staff, volunteers, and Board members take responsibility for promoting and ensuring child safety and the participation and empowerment of children. Sections address creating the right culture, recruitment, mandatory and voluntary reporting, and responding to a report, and sample policies and codes of conduct are included. This resource updates the 2016 'Child protection toolkit' in light of new legislation and the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
