Child Safety - for the kids to know
At Firekeepers we work together to create a safe environment where everyone can thrive and everyone has a voice, especially kids and young people - you are central to village life and your voice matters! Everyone in the village has a responsibility to look after each other and make sure we listen and respect each other when we say yes and no. That means kids looking out for each other, and also trusted adults looking out for the kids. If you ever feel uncomfortable because of what someone else is doing or saying, whether they are a kid or an adult, or if you think something looks dangerous please tell a trusted adult. You can also come and tell one of the Nest (Sam, Dave, Amaya, River, Beth, Ettie, Peter and Marisa) and we will do our best to help. If you feel shy to tell us, you can get an adult you trust to tell us instead. You are also able to tell us your suggestions and ideas to help make the next camp even better! What’s your ideas for how to make sure we all look after each other? Come and share your ideas with us!
Child Safety - for the grown ups to know
While all staff and volunteer mentors and crew on the Firekeepers' Village Camp are required to have current and valid Working with children checks, there are other village members attending the camp, who may not have working with children checks. Firekeepers have a Child Safe Policy, which you can find on our website here… https://www.firekeepers.com.au/ If someone is found to be not following this policy, they can be asked to leave camp.
