Accountability

We conduct all of our activities ethically and to the high standards of integrity. Our people, including Board members, employees and volunteers, are required to sign up to our Code of Conduct and undergo regular training in child safeguarding.

We regularly produce and release reports about the impact of our programs, and through our strategic plan, we are committed to continously learning, adapting and growing to ensure the effectiveness of our program interventions, our advocacy work, and our operations.

We have also have organisational policies that address safety, privacy, bullying and harrassment, and equity and equal opportunity. These policies help our employees and volunteers meet our high standards of ethical conduct.

We are a Child Safe Organisation

All organisations working with children must take steps to prevent child abuse. They cannot assume that child abuse does not, and cannot, happen within their organisation.

We align with the Victorian Child Safe Standards and the National Child Safe Principles across all our work.

The Child Safe Standards aim to:

promote the safety of children
prevent child abuse
ensure organisations and businesses have effective processes in place to respond to and report all allegations of child abuse.

Child Safe Standards work by:

driving changes in organisational culture – embedding child safety in everyday thinking and practice
providing a minimum standard of child safety across all organisations
highlighting that we all have a role to keep children safe from abuse.

For further information on how we implement this, read our Child Safe Policy which, along with our organisation's vision ensures that we will work to uphold the United Nations Convention on The Rights of The Child.
