Child Safe Standards - Creating or Updating your Policy

Please note that this training workshop is for Knox-based groups/clubs, non-profit organisations and individuals who live or work in Knox.

Facilitator: Knox City Council, Child Safe Advisor

This workshop will help you create a new Child Safe Policy or update the one you already have, so it meets the Victorian Child Safe Standards.

A Child Safe Policy is designed to protect children from physical, emotional, and sexual harm, and to create a safe and supportive environment where children feel respected and empowered. Your policy will help you to: meet your legal responsibilities; reduce risks during programs and activities; and clearly explain how to report concerns or incidents.

Learning Outcomes:

• Understand how to involve staff, volunteers, families, and children when developing your policy
• Know where to find helpful resources and training
• Be able to create a Child Safe Policy
• Learn how to share and explain the policy clearly
• Understand when and how to review and update your policy
