SAFEGUARDING
FRAMEWORK

Preventing child abuse requires proactive approaches across policies, procedures and practices consistent with the requirements of the:

  • NATIONAL PRINCIPLES FOR CHILD SAFE ORGANISATIONS (Australian Human Rights Commission)
  • RELEVANT CHILDREN’S GUARDIAN/CHILD SAFE STANDARDS BODIES IN EACH STATE AND TERRITORY
  • NATIONAL CATHOLIC SAFEGUARDING STANDARDS (Catholic Professional Standards Ltd)

The Safeguarding Children and Young People Framework has been created to provide guidance for the implementation of child safety policies, procedures, and practices within parishes, agencies, and entities. Its primary goal is to ensure the safety of children and young people.

safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility
zero tolerance for abuse of any kind
the safety and wellbeing of all persons is our highest priority
