What to expect

This session has been designed for senior leaders and Board members to understand their role in a child and youth safe organisation. Leaders set the tone and culture of an organisation and are responsible for establishing clear child safe governance protocols and ensuring their organisation meets the requirements of the Child Safe Standards.

This session helps leaders understand the legislation and their responsibilities, as well as their role in building a culture of child safety. We look at barriers organisations face as well as strategies to build and maintain child safe environments.

Our work takes place through the lands of the Aboriginal nations within Victoria and we pay our respects to their Elders past and present. Bunjil’s lore states that those who walk on this land must care for the Country and waterways as well as care for the children and young people. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
